BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- The defect
- Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2024 CX-90 and MAZDA3 vehicles. Due to a software error, the rearview, front, and/or side camera images may not appear on the display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
- What it can cause
- A camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's view, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the view monitor control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 20, 2023. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 Option 6. Mazda's number for this recall is 6223J.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 11,903 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 80% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Mazda vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention once before this, most recently in July 2023 as 23V487000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 344 complaints with NHTSA, 3 of them before this campaign was filed. 4 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V568000 (electrical system), 25V357000 (air bags), 24V817000 (electrical system), 24V816000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Mazda North American Operations with NHTSA on October 26, 2023 as campaign 23V718000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
