Contact: Tamara Mlynarczyk, Mazda North American Operations, media@mazdausa.com Washington, DC. (Aug. 7, 2023) – Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) has filed a safety defect notification with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concerning certain 2024 MY CX-90 vehicles. The issue involves the pedestrian alert system, specifically the warning sound for driving in reverse. Due to missing software in the “AVAS ISB” amplifier, which controls the warning sound, the sound may be activated in any gear other than “reverse”. This problem can occur when quickly shifting the vehicle gear selector lever through different gears. The AVAS is responsible for alerting pedestrians near the vehicle by generating an approaching vehicle alert sound at low speeds. Improper activation of the warning sound may affect the perception of the vehicle’s movement and increase the risk of accidents or injuries. No warning is given before this defect occurs, and there have been no reported accidents or injuries related to it. About 17,600 CX-90 vehicles in the U.S. and U.S. Territories are affected. Affected owners will receive notifications by U.S. Mail. To stay updated, please visit mazdarecallinfo.com or nhtsa.gov.
