Mazda CX-5
Model Overview
Mazda competes in the compact crossover category with the CX-5. As part of the brand's attempt to position itself as a premium choice among mainstream brands, the CX-5 looks more expensive than it is, and follows that up with options not common in its competition. A Signature trim added in 2019 is a luxury vehicle at a nicer price, and a diesel engine joined the range in 2020, helping the CX-5 stand apart.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
4320A
Units Affected:
6,983
Notification Type:
Safety TC
Issue:
On certain vehicles equipped with LED daytime running lights (DRLs), the wrong material was used for the gasket that seals the wiring connector. As a result, the gasket material could cause corrosion of the circuit board. This could cause one or both of the DRLs to flicker and/or fail.
Safety Risk:
Daytime running lights that do not work could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Mazda Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer for an inspection. Dealers will replace the sealing gasket and add an anti-corrosion material inside the headlights, as necessary. Dealers may also replace the headlight units if they have failed due to this problem.

Units Affected:

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 301 – Fuel System Integrity. During rear impact crash testing, the fuel filler pipe ruptured, causing fuel spillage exceeding the limit specified by the standard. As a result, a collision involving the rear of the vehicle could result in a fuel leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will remove a bolt on the left rear side member attaching the bracket to the fuel filler pipe. This will change the load path during a rear crash impact preventing filler pipe rupture.
