Manufacturer file
What the Mazda records can tell us
The Mazda file currently stops at 5 nameplates: CX-5, CX-9, Mazda3, CX-30, CX-50. Those 40 model-year entries contain 3,271 owner complaints. The missing denominator matters because these records do not say how many vehicles were on the road.
Engine appears most often in the component tags, with 827 mentions. A single complaint may carry several tags. I use the total as a prompt to read that system's contract terms, not as odds that a repair will happen.
Across the same model years, NHTSA records show 70 recall campaigns and 17,119 manufacturer communications. Recall repairs are handled separately from a paid service contract, while communications include far more than defects.
