The recall applies to CX-9s equipped with power-adjustable seats with a memory function. The power seats can potentially short-circuit, causing seat malfunctions that increase the risk of accidents, NHTSA said.
Dealers will inspect the seat harness and fasten the seat frame with a cable or tie free of charge. Mazda expects to send out recall letters to affected owners by no later than March 9.
