Mazda Recalls MX-5s That Forget to Warn Drivers They’re Skidding Too Much

•    Mazda is recalling some 12,000 2024-2025 MX-5s due to a problem with the stability control system.

The Mazda MX-5 is one of the most enjoyable cars to drive on the market. Those who love sporty driving can even take advantage of its incredible balance to make its rear end dance in corners, a pleasure that quickly becomes addictive.

Today’s vehicles come, of course, with traction and stability control systems that, in the event of an overly intense skid, intervene to keep the vehicle on track, typically by applying the brakes to a specific wheel to correct the model's position.

The problem
In the 2024-2025 MX-5s being recalled, a problem has been identified with the stability control system, the warning light of which might not illuminate in the event of a skid.

In total, around 12,000 2025-2025 MX-5 cars are being recalled.
