Frequently asked questions

How do I check if my Mazda has an open recall?

Look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It returns any open safety recalls for your exact vehicle, and recall repairs are free at authorized dealers.

Where does this Mazda complaint data come from?

All complaint and recall figures come from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the U.S. government's vehicle-safety agency. Complaints are unverified reports submitted by owners; a complaint is not a confirmed defect.

Which vehicles are listed here?

This index covers the model-years with the highest complaint volumes in NHTSA's file (complaints received since January 1, 1995) and expands over time.

About this data — Complaint figures on this page are consumer reports submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a U.S. government agency. NHTSA does not verify individual complaints; a complaint is not proof that a defect exists, and counts reflect what owners chose to report, not confirmed failure rates. Recall information comes from official NHTSA safety recall campaigns; recall repairs are free at authorized dealers. Always check your specific vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
