2020 Mazda CX-5: Common Problems, Recalls and Vehicle Data
Check the 2020 Mazda CX-5 records before a viewing: recall campaigns, owner-reported symptoms, investigations, service bulletins and EPA fuel economy.

What the public data shows
The 2020 Mazda CX-5 has no recalls and no open investigations in NHTSA's public data, which puts the focus here on service bulletins rather than safety campaigns. Mazda issued 373 bulletins for this model year, and they are not spread evenly: the electrical system accounts for 56, equipment for 51, and engine and engine cooling for 50, with the power train adding another 23. That is a notably broad bulletin record rather than one concentrated in a single area, though it's worth repeating that bulletins are guidance for dealers on known symptoms, not recalls or confirmed defects. Complaints filed with NHTSA total 106 for this model year. The largest category is labeled "other" at 35 complaints, followed by electrical at 30 and engine at 13. Brakes and drivetrain complaints follow at smaller counts. These figures describe what owners reported, not how many vehicles actually have a given problem, and they should not be read as a defect rate. With zero recalls and zero investigations on record, there's no regulatory action to point to for this year. That absence doesn't mean the vehicle is free of issues -- it means nothing in the recall or investigation data has drawn disproportionate federal attention so far. The bulletin spread across electrical, equipment, and engine systems is the most distinctive feature of this year's public record.

Manufacturer communications
Expand a component group to read the service bulletins and other communications manufacturers filed with NHTSA. Use the document number to ask a dealer whether the instructions apply to this car and whether any repair is covered. A bulletin alone does not establish payment eligibility. How these records differ from recalls and investigations.

Combined MPG is a weighted average, not the midpoint of city and highway — how EPA calculates these ratings.
Calculate your annual fuel costSafety ratings
NHTSA crash-tests each body-style/drivetrain configuration separately, so ratings can differ by variant — shown as tested, not averaged. See how the 5-star ratings work, including why an overall score isn't the average of the three category scores.
