Mazda is recalling approximately 4,252 of its 2024 CX-90 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) due to a software error. This error can cause both the gasoline engine and the electric motor to shut down without warning while the vehicle is being driven. This defect leads to a sudden loss of drive power, though steering and braking functions should remain operational. Owners will receive a free software update for the powertrain and engine control modules to fix the issue.
