Component: Driver side mirror. Issue: When the vehicle is above 50 mph, the mirror vibrates and obscures driver's view, which could lead to death/serious injury. Passenger side mirror is steady. When: The issue happened since first day of vehicle ownership. But it was not reported to dealership until 3 weeks after delivery (i.e.Sep 12, 2023) Dealership Inspection: The dealership acknowledged the issue but nothing couldn't be done to remediate because manufacture doesn't have a solution.
The driver-side mirror has a lot of vibration when driving on the highway (60+ MPH). This vibration creates a distraction, and reduces visibility of cars/objects in the mirror. The issue has not been brought to attention to the dealer although seems to be a widely occurring issue amongst these cars.
The driver side mirror glass vibrates and shakes inside the mirror housing at high speeds, over 50mph. The vibrating glass makes it hard to see objects behind the vehicle or judge distance on the driver side. The passenger side mirror glass is unaffected, does not vibrate, and I can clearly see objects behind the vehicle on pass…

The driver side mirror glass vibrates and shakes inside the mirror housing at high speeds, over 50mph. The vibrating glass makes it hard to see objects behind the vehicle or judge distance on the driver side. The passenger side mirror glass is unaffected, does not vibrate, and I can clearly see objects behind the vehicle on passenger side. Additionally, the mirror housings on both sides of the vehicle seem to be tightly attached to the doors. The vibration is strictly isolated to the glass inside the mirror housing on driver side.

Opened Jan 26, 2026 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Steering; Steering:rack And Pinion
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 26 complaints and several Early Warning Reporting (EWR) Field Reports alleging intermittent and brief increases in steering effort (described as “sticky steering”) during the drive cycle in model year (MY) 2024 CX-90 vehicles manufactured by Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) subject to Recall 24V2022. In each complaint, the vehicle had the recall remedy completed prior to the reported incident. Recall 24V022 addresses a sudden and unexpected change of steering effort while driving caused by excessive worm gear friction force. After receiving the recall 24V022 remedy, consumers report sudden increases of steering effort while driving. Sudden and unexpected change of steering effort while driving may increase the risk of a crash. ODI is opening this Recall Query (RQ) to assess the adequacy of the remedy for Recall 24V022 and to identify the cause(s) of the conditions leading to the post-remedy reports. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.
