What's wrong?
The 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid and CX-50 use a Sophisticated Air bag Sensor unit, often called the SAS unit, as the control module for the restraint system. It reads crash sensor information and uses stored software settings to decide how the air bags should deploy for that vehicle configuration. The system depends on the module having the correct air bag data before the vehicle leaves the plant.
On the affected vehicles, the SAS unit was programmed with incorrect configuration data during manufacturing. That data does not match Mazda's air bag deployment specifications for these vehicles. If the module receives crash information while carrying the wrong settings, the air bag system can deploy improperly instead of following the intended restraint logic.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is in the stored software configuration, so an owner would not notice a sound, light, smell, or change in normal driving before the air bag system is needed.
Who's affected?
Both CX-50 variants share the same air bag sensor unit software in this recall.
