2023 Mazda KK CX-90: autonomous braking falsely activated

In May 2024, recall campaign R202404 was issued for 2023 Mazda KK CX-90 vehicles. Due to a calibration issue within the Vehicle Control Module (VCM) and when driving at low speeds, the vehicle may falsely detect reflective objects such as metal walls, barriers or similar objects on the side of the road as an approaching object. This could trigger an unintended brake activation that increased the risk of a collision and injury to both vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, the Vehicle Control Module was to be updated with a revised calibration by a Mazda Dealer. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005973.
