Affected vehicles include model-year 2024-25 CX-90s and model-year 2025 CX-70s. The issue is with the fuel gauge in the instrument cluster, which may display an inaccurate reading. This could result in the vehicle unexpectedly running out of fuel and stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
To resolve the issue, dealers will update the body control module software for free. Mazda will notify owners Nov. 1, but those with further questions can contact the automaker at 800-222-5500, Option 6 (Mazda’s recall number for this issue is 78251), 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.
