2024 Mazda CX-30 problems: recalls, complaints and whether this is a year to avoid
The 2024 Mazda CX-30 has 31 owner complaints on record with NHTSA, which ranks it 1 of 2 Mazda CX-30 model years by complaint volume. That is the highest of any year in the run — the 2023 car has 25. 2 recall entries cover this year.
Which recalls cover the 2024?
Lane Departure
A malfunction in the forward sensing camera (FSC) may prevent the automatic emergency braking system and the lane-keep assist system from functioning.
Free remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the forward sensing camera as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 24, 2024.
Air Bags
The Sophisticated Air Bag Sensor (SAS) units may set an error code and deactivate the air bags, due to a low battery condition.
Free remedy: 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.
Take the campaign number to any franchised Mazda dealer. Recall repairs are free with no mileage or ownership limit, and they follow the car rather than the owner, so a used 2024 with an unrepaired campaign is a free repair you can claim. How recalls work.
