Mazda North American Operations is recalling 22 units of the 2025 CX-50 Hybrid vehicle because the transmission gear shifter can be moved from Neutral to Drive without the driver pressing the brake pedal. To fix this, dealers will replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) and reprogram both the Hybrid Control Unit (HCU) and the Power Control Unit (PCU) at no cost to owners. Notification letters are being sent to owners with a second notice expected in late summer 2025 once repair parts and software are available.
If the vehicle is shifted into gear without the brake pedal being pressed, the car can move unexpectedly. This unintended movement increases the risk of a crash.
You have 2 options:
Replacement of the Engine Control Module (ECM)
Software reprogramming of vehicle control units
Manufacturer's recall number 7725F. Affected units are specific to the 2025 CX-50 Hybrid model.
