Mazda is recalling certain 2010-2013 Mazda3 and Mazdaspeed3 vehicles, 2012-2015 Mazda5 vehicles, 2016 CX-3 vehicles, and 2013-2016 CX-5 vehicles due to a defect in the lift gate support struts.

To address this issue, Mazda dealers will replace both lift gate supports at no cost to owners. However, replacement parts are not currently available. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 and reference recall number 9916H.
