Mazda recalled all 2013-2016 CX-5s built through December 2015 and replaces both struts free of charge, though replacement parts were on backorder for years after the recall began. NHTSA 16V-644 (Mazda campaign 9916H). Typical cost: Free under recall. 4 more issues are reported in other 2013-2016 years: Front strut-to-steering-knuckle bolt loosening (recall) (2014-2016); Fuel filler pipe rupture risk (recall) (2014-2016); LED daytime running light failure (recall) (2016); Mazda Connect infotainment freezes and reboots (class-action settlement) (2016 (part of a wider 2016-2020 settlement class across CX-5/CX-9/Mazda6/CX-3)).

All CX-5s from 2013 on use FL-22 long-life coolant, Mazda ATF-FZ automatic transmission fluid, a Group 35 battery, and a CR2032 key fob battery. Parts that are cheap and easy to find regardless of which generation you own.
