21V750000NHTSA report received September 2021Model years: 2020–2021
NHTSA campaign 21V750000: Mazda CX-9 seats recall
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2020-2021 CX-9 vehicles equipped with 60/40 split bench second-row seats. The left-side second-row seat may unexpectedly slide forward during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Consequence: A seat that slides forward during a crash can transfer excessive force onto a belted occupant, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy per NHTSA (as of 2026-08-27): Dealers will replace the internal parts of the affected second-row seats, free of charge.

Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2019 CX-9 vehicles equipped with Sumitomo Falken ZIEX CT50 A/S tires, size P255/50R20 104V, having date code 1619. An incorrect rubber compound may have been used in the tire's manufacturing, allowing the tread to separate and detach.
Consequence: A detached tire tread can decrease vehicle stability and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy per NHTSA (as of 2026-08-27): Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect all four tire serial numbers, replacing the tires as necessary, free of charge.

Remedy per NHTSA (as of 2026-08-27): Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will repair the wiring harnesses, free of charge.

How many recalls does the Mazda CX-9 have?
As of NHTSA records retrieved 2026-08-27, NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for the Mazda CX-9, model years 2016–2024. A recall applies to specific VIN ranges, variants, trims or build dates, so a particular vehicle may be affected by all, some, or none of them, and a campaign count is not a reliability ranking. Whether an open recall is a safety risk depends on the campaign, so read the NHTSA entry for the VIN. Each campaign below shows the remedy NHTSA records, which may be a dealer or service-center repair, an over-the-air software update, or, for some campaigns, a repurchase. This page details the most recent campaigns; the full record for any VIN is at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
What should an inspector check on a used Mazda CX-9?
Beyond the standard pre-purchase checks, the recall history for this model concentrates in: fuel system, electrical system, tires, seats. An inspector documents the visible and operational condition of those systems without disassembly; internal parts, software-only issues and whether a recall remedy was performed are VIN-lookup questions, not inspection findings.
Can a pre-purchase inspection tell me whether a Mazda CX-9 recall was done?
No. Whether a recall repair was performed is recorded against the VIN, so NHTSA's lookup at nhtsa.gov/recalls (or the manufacturer's own) is the authoritative check. Run it before you travel. The inspection covers what a VIN lookup cannot: the physical condition of the vehicle in front of you.
Can you inspect a Mazda CX-9 at a dealer, a private seller, or out of state?
Yes. The inspector usually travels to the vehicle at the seller's location — a dealer lot or a private seller — and you do not need to be there. Vehicle Inspectors dispatches an independent inspector within 50 miles of any US ZIP code, widening to 150 miles if needed; more remote locations are quoted case by case. You get a photo-documented PDF report in 24–48 hours.
How much does a Mazda CX-9 pre-purchase inspection cost?
A pre-purchase inspection of a Mazda CX-9 through Vehicle Inspectors: Bronze $249 · Silver $349 · Gold $449. Your card is saved at booking, not charged. A hold is placed when an inspector schedules, and you are charged after the inspection is completed. If no inspector accepts within 72 hours, the request auto-cancels and nothing is charged.
