NHTSA recall 23V553000
Back Over Prevention, Forward Collision Avoidance · Mazda Motor Corp.
Details
What's wrong: Software in the approaching vehicle audible system (avas) information sound box (isb) amplifier may be missing, which can cause inaccurate, external pedestrian warning sounds. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, "minimum sound requirements for hybrid electric vehicles."
Why it matters: Inaccurate external warning sounds may confuse pedestrians about the direction of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
The fix: Dealers will update the avas isb amplifier software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 18, 2023.
