Vehicles Affected: Approximately 24,000 model-year 2020 Mazda CX-30 SUVs and Mazda3 sedans and hatchbacks

The Problem: The front brake caliper mounting bolts may not have been tightened properly during assembly, possibly allowing the calipers to loosen, which can reduce braking performance or interfere with wheel rotation, increasing the risk of a crash.

The Fix: Dealers will inspect the front brake caliper bolts, tightening them as necessary and replacing calipers with missing bolts, for free.

What Owners Should Do: Mazda will begin notifying owners Aug. 11. Owners can call the automaker at 800-222-5500, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
