NHTSA Complaint #11708631 — 2024 MAZDA CX-90

I am reporting a serious steering safety issue. I was told a steering recall had already been fixed before purchase. About four months later, the steering wheel began locking or strongly resisting movement while driving on curvy roads at speeds over 50 mph. When this happens, the wheel does not return to center and requires force to correct, creating a loss of steering control. I took the vehicle to Passport Mazda in Maryland on January 2, 2026. The dealer stated the entire steering wheel panel needs replacement and the part is backordered until March 2026. This is a dangerous defect in a recently recalled system and needs investigation.
