Mazda5 Electrical Recall One federal campaign, in NHTSA’s own words

Dean McCrary Mazda has one NHTSA campaign open on the Mazda5 electrical system, model years 2007–2009. Here is NHTSA’s own description of the issue:

MAZDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007-2009 MAZDA3 AND MAZDA5 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM APRIL 2, 2007 THROUGH NOVEMBER 30, 2008. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

The repair is free — parts and labor, at any Mazda dealer, for the life of the vehicle. Check your VIN below to confirm your Mazda5 is included, or jump straight to what to do next.

Is This Mazda5 Included?

Enter the 17-character VIN and we query NHTSA in real time. The answer comes back for that one vehicle, and it covers every open campaign on it — not only the electrical one on this page.

Or call and read the VIN to our service team.

What NHTSA says the defect is

MAZDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007-2009 MAZDA3 AND MAZDA5 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM APRIL 2, 2007 THROUGH NOVEMBER 30, 2008. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

The risk NHTSA states

POWER STEERING ASSIST IS SUDDENLY LOST REDUCING THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE AS TYPICALLY EXPECTED, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy NHTSA states

MAZDA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND LINES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MAZDA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-222-5500.

What To Do From Here

Four steps, in order.

Run the VIN

Use the checker above, or nhtsa.gov/recalls. Both read the same federal record, and both answer for the one vehicle rather than the nameplate.

Book the repair

Schedule online or call . Give us the campaign number and we will confirm the parts are in hand before you come in.

Ask if parts are short

A campaign is sometimes announced before the remedy parts reach dealerships. If that is the case we will say so and put you on the list, rather than book a visit that cannot be completed.

Keep the paperwork

We give you written proof the campaign was closed. It is worth having: a buyer checking the federal record later sees the campaign, and the paperwork is what shows it was dealt with.

Mazda5 Electrical Recall Questions

Does this campaign cover my Mazda5?

Only a VIN answers that. A campaign covers a build range, so two vehicles of the same model year can be treated differently. The checker on this page queries NHTSA for one vehicle and returns every open campaign on it.

What does the repair cost?

Nothing. A federal safety recall remedy is performed at no charge to the owner — parts and labor — for the life of the vehicle, whatever the mileage and wherever the vehicle was bought.

Why is the wording on this page so formal?

Because it is not ours. The defect, risk and remedy text is NHTSA’s, reproduced without edit. Rewriting a safety notice into friendlier language would change what it says, and we would rather you read the original than our version of it.

Could something have changed since this page was written?

Yes. This page was checked against NHTSA on 2026-08-09, and campaigns are amended and superseded. The Mazda5 recall hub reads the federal database live every time it loads, so it is the current position; this page is the detail behind it.

Mazda5 Electrical Recall Open? We Will Book It.

Call with the VIN, or book online. Recall work is performed at no charge to the owner, and we will confirm the parts before your visit.

Verified as of 2026-08-09 against the NHTSA federal recall database. Every defect, risk and remedy statement above is NHTSA’s own wording, reproduced without edit, and each campaign number links to the federal record it came from. Nothing on this page is a summary, an estimate or an inference.
