Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Mazda is recalling approximately 77,670 MX-5 Miata vehicles from the 2016-2023 model years due to a software error in the air bag control module. This defect can cause front air bags to deploy with more force than intended during a crash, which fails to meet federal safety standards. Mazda dealers will provide a free software update to the air bag sensor system to fix the issue.

Risk

If the front air bags deploy with excessive force during a collision, it significantly increases the risk of occupant injury instead of providing the intended protection.
