What's wrong?
The ABS Hydraulic Control Unit on the 2022-2023 Mazda CX-30 and CX-50 is the brake-system valve and pump assembly that manages pressure for the anti-lock brakes. When a wheel starts to lock during hard braking, the unit changes brake pressure at that wheel so the tire keeps gripping instead of sliding.
In affected vehicles, an improper manufacturing process damaged the unit internally during assembly. That internal damage can make the brake pedal travel farther while you press it. With more pedal travel, the brake system gives the driver less immediate braking response, which matches Mazda's reduced braking ability concern.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall filing does not identify an earlier sound, light, or pedal change that tells an owner the hydraulic control unit has already been damaged.
Who's affected?
CX-30 appears for both model years; CX-50 appears only for 2023, with all listed SUVs tied to the hydraulic brake system.

What's the safety risk?
Reduced braking ability can lengthen the distance needed to stop and increase crash risk. There is no warning sign before the defect occurs, so confirm whether your VIN is included and schedule the ABS HCU inspection promptly. Repair is free at any franchised Mazda dealer.

- Contact a franchised Mazda dealer to schedule the free ABS Hydraulic Control Unit inspection and replacement that fixes the reduced-braking defect.
- Bring the recall notice if Mazda mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V275 when you call.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Mazda technician inspects the anti-lock brake system Hydraulic Control Unit and replaces the ABS HCU if it is damaged. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the new vehicle warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the subject vehicles are under warranty coverage. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
