Steering · reported Nov 11, 2026
After driving about 67,000 miles, we noticed a stickiness of the steering wheel when turning left. The steering wheel does not pop back into place as it should when making a left turn. I believe this issue is being investigated under Recall Query RQ26002.

My 2024 Mazda CX-90 MHEV developed an active coolant leak from the radiator at approximately 40,829 miles. The leak was discovered on November 5, 2026, during a routine oil change at an independent repair facility.

It was also at the dealership on September…
