TRAILER HITCHES
- The defect
- Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2024-2025 CX-50 vehicles equipped with Mazda Genuine Accessory trailer hitches. The trailer hitch assembly bolts may loosen and cause the assembly to separate from the vehicle body during towing or normal driving conditions.
- What it can cause
- A detached trailer hitch assembly can create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will tighten the trailer hitch bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 4, 2025. Mazda's number for this recall is 7225C.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to 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 63 vehicles this is a small campaign: 75% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mazda vehicles have been recalled over the trailer hitches 2 times before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V135000. 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 66 complaints with NHTSA, 14 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 25V737000 (suspension), 25V413000 (air bags), 24V649000 (lane departure).
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 March 14, 2025 as campaign 25V167000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
