AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Mazda North American Operations is recalling certain 2024-2025 Mazda3 and CX30 vehicles. The Sophisticated Air Bag Sensor (SAS) units may set an error code and deactivate the air bags, due to a low battery condition.
- What it can cause
- Air bags that do not deploy in the event of a crash increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will reprogram the SAS unit with improved software or replace the unit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 24, 2025. Mazda's number for this recall is 7525E.
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 171,412 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 94% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. 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 air bags 32 times before this, most recently in September 2024 as 24V695000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 73 complaints with NHTSA, 20 of them before this campaign was filed. 9 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in February 2024, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 24V649000 (lane departure), 23V718000 (back over prevention).
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 May 29, 2025 as campaign 25V357000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
