Mazda is recalling approximately 560 of its 2023 CX-50 vehicles that were equipped with a Mazda Genuine Accessory trailer hitch. The trailer hitch harness on these vehicles may detach from its mount and become damaged while driving. This damage can lead to the sudden failure of the trailer's lights and braking systems. Owners can have this issue resolved by visiting a Mazda dealer for a free repair of the harness.
If the harness detaches and becomes damaged, the trailer's brake lights, turn signals, and electronic brakes may stop working without warning. Towing a trailer without functioning lights or brakes significantly increases the risk of a crash, as trailing drivers may not see the vehicle's intentions and the driver's stopping power is reduced.
Dealers will repair the trailer hitch harness free of charge.
