2023 CX-9 Reliability

The new Mazda CX-9 has led a relatively trouble-free existence with good predicted reliability. No recalls have been issued for the 2023 or 2022 models so far, but it was recalled once in 2021 and 2020 for a seat that may slide forward in a crash.

The Mazda scored 81 out of a possible 100 points both overall and for Quality & Reliability in the 2023 JD Power Survey - a very good result.

The CX-9 is covered by a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 60-month/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
