Mazda has recalled just 22 CX-50 Hybrid SUVs from model year 2025 because drivers can shift them into drive without pressing the brake pedal.
Mazda tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that workers left the vehicles in a mode intended only for the factory when they shipped them to dealers. Owners can’t shift them out of factory mode on their own.
To fix the problem, dealers will need to replace the engine control module (ECM), reprogram the power control unit (PCU) and hybrid control unit (HCU), and “deactivate factory mode using a special tool.”
As with all recalls, the repair is free.
