Mazda Mazda3 and CX-30 vehicles recalled for potential air bag deactivation

Mazda is recalling 2024-2025 Mazda3 and CX-30 vehicles because the air bag sensor units may deactivate due to a low battery condition. Disabled air bags increase the risk of injury during a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This recall involves a safety-critical system (air bags) that may fail to deploy in a crash, creating risk of serious injury. However, the source does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, and the malfunction is dependent on a specific condition (low battery). Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products without reported injury are scored as High.

Plain-English summary

Mazda North American Operations is recalling certain 2024 and 2025 Mazda3 and CX-30 vehicles. The Sophisticated Air Bag Sensor (SAS) units in these vehicles may malfunction and deactivate the air bags due to a low battery condition.

When air bags fail to deploy during a crash, vehicle occupants face substantially increased risk of injury. Air bags are a critical safety system designed to mitigate crash injuries.
