2022 MAZDA CX-5 — Complaint #2134008
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about TIRES:TREAD/BELT filed September 25, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2134008 (ODI reference 11689767) concerns a 2022 MAZDA CX-5 and was filed on September 25, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 24, 2025. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as tires:tread/belt, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same MAZDA CX-5 cohort independently describe similar tires:tread/belt failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 MAZDA CX-5 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The four 225/55 R19 tiresâ, purchased 05/02/25 and available for inspection upon request, asymmetrical tread design has 5 treads & 4 troughs across its width. The center tread and the adjacent one to its outside both have varied design water dispersal slots. When the tires are properly mounted with the word âoutsideâ viewable on the outside of all 4 wheels and the vehicle is rolling forward, the 2 above referenced treadsâ slots of the right side tires will force water away from the treads and into the adjacent troughs, but these same tread slots on the left side tires, now spun 180 degrees when mounted on the left side, will force water toward the center of the two above referenced treads, actually building up water upon the referenced treadsâ surfaces, not dispersing it like on the right side tires. On wet roads, this will dangerously set up the likelihood of hydroplaning on the referenced left side treads, as well as a surface grabbing imbalance between the right and left s
