2024 MAZDA CX-50 — Complaint #2177762
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE filed February 17, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2177762 (ODI reference 11718619) concerns a 2024 MAZDA CX-50 and was filed on February 17, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 27, 2026. The vehicle had 16,937 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as forward collision avoidance, 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: yes, fire: no, injuries: 1, fatalities: 0. A complaint that flags a crash, fire, or fatality is escalated on NHTSA's internal review queue and factors more heavily into any Preliminary Evaluation decision on this make and model. 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-50 cohort independently describe similar forward collision avoidance 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 2024 MAZDA CX-50 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
