Recall #N242490120 | Posted June 2025
If the battery becomes completely depleted by leaving the ignition switch in the "ON" position, the Sophisticated Airbag Sensor (SAS) unit may store an internal fault. If the battery is then recharged and the vehicle restarted, the airbag warning light may illuminate and prevent airbags from deploying in a crash.
Mazda dealers will reprogram the existing SAS unit with improved software or replace the unit with an updated version. All repairs will be performed free of charge.
To check if your specific vehicle is affected by any recalls, you can:
Mazda will send notification letters to registered owners of affected vehicles by the end of July 2025. You can also check for recalls using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the NHTSA website or by contacting Mazda customer service at 800-222-5500.
No. All safety recall repairs are performed free of charge at authorized Mazda dealerships like Art Hill Mazda.
If your airbag warning light illuminates, contact Art Hill Mazda immediately to schedule service. While the risk of airbag non-deployment only occurs after specific battery depletion scenarios, any airbag warning light should be addressed promptly.
The airbag sensor reprogramming or replacement typically takes about 1-2 hours. Our service advisors can provide a more accurate time estimate when you schedule your appointment.
Mazda has not issued a "Do Not Drive" notice for this recall. However, you should avoid leaving your ignition in the "ON" position when the vehicle is not running, as this is the specific scenario that could trigger the airbag fault.
