Summary

Mazda North American Operations is recalling 63 of its 2024-2025 CX-50 vehicles that were equipped with a Mazda Genuine Accessory trailer hitch. The bolts used to attach the trailer hitch assembly can become loose over time, which may lead to the hitch separating from the vehicle while driving or towing. Authorized dealers will tighten the trailer hitch bolts free of charge to resolve the issue.
