## Known problems with the 2014 Mazda CX-5

3 of the 5 issues we track for the 2013-2016 generation are documented against the 2014 model year.

### Liftgate support strut corrosion (recall) (moderate)

The gas-charged struts that hold the power/manual liftgate open can corrode internally and lose pressure, allowing the liftgate to drop unexpectedly and strike someone underneath. 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.

### Front strut-to-steering-knuckle bolt loosening (recall) (major)

The lower mounting nuts and bolts that attach the front strut assembly to the steering knuckle can loosen over time, which can let the steering knuckle separate from the strut and cause a loss of steering control. Mazda recalled 2014-2016 CX-5s (along with several other Mazda models) to inspect and retighten or replace the hardware.

NHTSA 16V-203 (Mazda campaign 9316D). Typical cost: Free under recall.

### Fuel filler pipe rupture risk (recall) (moderate)

On certain 2014-2016 CX-5s, the fuel filler pipe's attachment to its bracket could allow the pipe to rupture in a crash, failing FMVSS 301 fuel-system-integrity requirements and raising fire risk. Mazda recalled the affected VINs to reinforce the filler pipe attachment.

NHTSA 16V-064 (Mazda campaign 9216B). Typical cost: Free under recall.

2 more issues are reported in other 2013-2016 years: 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)).

## About the Mazda CX-5

The Mazda CX-5 is Mazda's best-selling model in the US and the compact SUV enthusiast reviewers point to when they say a crossover can actually be fun to drive. 5L four-cylinder, a conventional 6-speed automatic, and no turbo or CVT anywhere in the lineup, simple, low-maintenance mechanicals whose main documented weak spots are a corrosion-prone liftgate strut recall and a steering-knuckle bolt recall. 2L SkyActiv-D diesel for 2019-2020 that Mazda quietly dropped after low demand.

5L engines, a widely reported cylinder-deactivation shudder/vibration that Mazda never fully resolved with a clean fix, exhaust valve-stem-seal oil consumption on some 2021 engines, and a class-action settlement covering Mazda Connect infotainment freezes/reboots on 2016-2020 CX-5s. 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.
