Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Mazda is recalling approximately 236,100 vehicles, specifically 2014-2018 Mazda3 and 2016-2021 CX-3 models, because the rearview camera image may flicker or become distorted. This defect prevents the driver from seeing clearly behind the vehicle while reversing, which can lead to a crash or injury. Dealers will provide a free inspection and replacement of the camera if necessary, along with installing a protective seal to the wiring harness.

Risk

A flickering or distorted rearview image reduces the driver’s visibility of the area behind the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of striking a person or object while in reverse.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle's make, model, and year to see if it is a 2014-2018 Mazda3 or a 2016-2021 Mazda CX-3.
  2. If you own an affected vehicle, be aware that your rearview camera may fail at any time; use extra caution while reversing until the repair is complete.
  3. Contact an authorized Mazda dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair, which includes a camera replacement and the installation of a wiring harness fastening seal.
  4. If you live in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, or Virginia, check your mail for a final notification letter that was sent in August 2024; owners in other states should expect letters by May 1, 2025.
  5. For more information, contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500, Option 6, and reference recall number 6023G.
