What's wrong?
The 2024 Mazda CX-90 uses critical bolts and nuts to hold key steering and suspension parts in place. The steering intermediate shaft connects the steering wheel to the steering gear, the front upper control arm helps keep the wheel aligned, and the ABS wheel speed sensor harness carries wheel-speed information for the anti-lock brake system.
On affected CX-90 vehicles, some of these parts were disconnected and reconnected after quality-related component replacements at the assembly plant. Because the torque verification process was improper, one or more bolts or nuts were not tightened to specification. A loose fastener can let the steering intermediate shaft, front ABS wheel speed sensor harness, or front upper control arm ball joint loosen or separate while driving.
There is no warning sign before failure. The vehicle can feel normal until a fastener loosens enough for a steering or suspension part to detach, which can result in loss of vehicle control.
Who's affected?
The same upper arm and steering knuckle nut is tied to the suspension and steering systems.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Mazda technician inspects the steering and suspension bolts tied to the steering intermediate shaft, the front anti lock brake wheel speed sensor harnesses, and the front upper control arms. The technician tightens loose bolts and replaces any missing or damaged bolts. The recall repair is available now, and parts and labor are covered. Repairs already paid from your own pocket are handled through Mazda's new vehicle warranty coverage, not through a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies to prior repair paperwork.
