Mazda has recalled a bunch of its new CX-90 and CX-70 SUVs due to software problems. The company will fix these issues with updates to the cars' computers.

The first recall affects 80,915 vehicles, including 70,974 CX-90s and 9,941 CX-70s. Owners might see lots of warning messages when they start their cars. These warnings could mean problems with the defroster, seat belt alerts, 360-degree camera, or the cooling system for hybrid batteries in some models. Mazda will update the software in the dashboard's electronic unit to solve this.

Another 31,488 cars, made up of 26,533 CX-90s from 2024 and 4,955 CX-70s from 2025, have a different issue. While driving, the dashboard might light up with warning lights, and the car could go into a slow-speed "limp mode". Mechanics can spot this problem with a specific error code. Mazda plans to fix it by updating the software in two of the car's main computers.

The last recall involves 38,926 CX-90s from 2024. These cars might not start again after the engine automatically stops to save fuel when the car isn't moving. If this happens, drivers will see a hybrid system warning light. Again, Mazda will update the software in two of the car's computers to fix this.

For all these problems, Mazda will reprogram various computer systems in the cars. The company hasn't said if some cars might have more than one of these issues.

Mazda will contact owners about these recalls and schedule the necessary repairs at no cost.
