We’ve sorted all 2019 recalls according to the model into a table below.

Six out of ten of Mazda’s recalls related to the Mazda3 in 2019. In addition to common problems with several other models (engines), it was also due to a windscreen wiper fault, the passenger airbag deactivation indicator light, or the wheels not correctly tightened.

Tip: Check your car by VIN

The Engine Control Unit (PCM) may fail to switch from the cylinder deactivation to normal mode with Mazda3, Mazda CX-5, and Mazda6 models produced between June 2017 and May 2019.

The air inlet valve may get stuck in a closed position due to accumulated soot with the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 models produced between 2012 – 2018.

Nearly 6,000 Mazda models equipped with the revolutionary Skyactiv-X engine, which combines petrol and diesel engine elements, may have problems with the fuel supply. The recall concerns Mazda3 models manufactured between 14 June to 1 October 2019 and Mazda CX-30 from the period of 14 July to 1 October 2019.

We’ve written about some problems in more detail in separate articles.

How can you check the recalls by VIN?

Even if you don’t see your car in the table below, it doesn’t mean it was not the subject of a recall sometime in the past. The best way to verify whether a particular car is affected by some recall is to contact a Mazda Authorized Service and ask for the VIN code to be checked not only for recalls but also for various Service bulletins.

It will only cost you your time because such information is provided for free. Free of charge are usually also all the repairs that are related to the recall. It doesn’t matter whether you are the first, second or even third owner. It doesn’t even matter whether you have been to Mazda authorized service regularly, occasionally or never before.

What is a VIN code?
