Every Mazda Safety Recall In The UK, By Model And Year, With What Each Fault Means And How To Get It Fixed

Mazda has 103 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, including 27 since 2020. The most common recent faults involve software, fuel leaks and brakes. Enter your registration to check your Mazda; you won't usually pay for a recall repair at a franchised Mazda dealer.¹

Mazda's recall rate per car on the road is about average for major brands, and few of its recalls stop you driving. The exception was the MX-30, Mazda's first electric car: in 2023 R/2023/159 told owners the car could not be driven because of an on-board charger fault, until the fix was fitted. If you own an MX-30, check that the work has been done; see our electric car recalls page. For petrol and diesel Mazdas, the largest recent recalls are a steering wheel logo on the Mazda3 that could shatter if the airbag deployed (R/2021/273, 36,741 vehicle-records) and a fuel pump that could fail and stall the engine on the CX-3, CX-5, Mazda2, Mazda3, Mazda6 and MX-5 (R/2021/435, 26,974). Older Mazdas were also part of the Takata airbag recalls, so owners of cars from the 2000s should check too. Any Mazda dealer can check your VIN and book the repair.

The per-car figure divides car recalls since 2020 by the number of Mazda cars licensed in the UK in 2026 Q2, with van-only recalls removed.² A higher count doesn't mean a car is less reliable: it reflects the size of the range, how vans are counted and how readily a maker recalls.
