The CX-60 has no conventional alternator; its small 12V battery (around 6.5Ah) is charged from the 48V mild-hybrid system via a DC/DC converter. Faulty Electrical Supply Unit (ESU) control software, or pressing the start button multiple times before the driver-personalisation sys… Severity: high.
Mazda campaign AS007A covers VIN-specific CX-60 PHEV vehicles whose high-voltage control software can register an insulation-resistance fault. RDW says that if the vehicle is stopped while this condition is present, fail-safe mode can prevent the vehicle from powering on again or… Repairs typically run $0-$0. Severity: high.
Mazda's Japanese improvement action 679 covers specified CX-60 chassis built from July 2022 through April 4, 2023. In affected vehicles, the side-radar software can lose stored angle-correction information when the system shuts down. The sensor may then locate an object incorrect… Severity: high.
In affected CX-60 vehicles, the electric power-steering gearbox can have an incorrect gear-meshing load. Mazda says this can push grease away from the engagement area, increase sliding resistance, and increase the force needed to turn the steering wheel. Drivers may describe the… Repairs typically run $0-$0. Severity: high.
Due to faulty software in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Battery Energy Control Module (BECM), the engine may fail to automatically restart after auto stop-start (i-stop), illuminating the engine warning light and a 'Hybrid System Malfunction' message and potentially sta… Severity: high.
The CX-60 PHEV combines its motor and engine with a new eight-speed transmission, an engine-disconnect wet multi-plate clutch, and a mechanical launch clutch rather than a conventional torque converter. A low-speed jerk can occur during a gear change, clutch take-up, or the trans… Severity: medium.
3.3L diesel CX-60 owners report the diesel particulate filter (DPF) entering active regeneration very often, particularly on short/urban journeys where the exhaust never reaches full temperature. During a regen the engine injects extra fuel to burn off soot, driving instantaneous… Repairs typically run $0-$800. Severity: medium.
Mazda's Japanese April 2023 service campaign covers specified early CX-60 chassis. On vehicles equipped with Driver Personalisation, rapidly repeating push-button-start operation can expose an incorrect body-control-module program: after power-off, the vehicle may fail to enter i… Severity: medium.
The CX-60 launched with widely criticised damping: a harsh, jittery, bouncy ride that crashes over bumps and never settles, an issue covered by reviewers and reported across owner forums. It stems from the rear-biased platform's overly firm spring and damper tuning at launch. Severity: medium.
Because the 8-speed automatic uses a multi-plate clutch pack rather than a torque converter, low-speed manoeuvring is jerky. Owners report lag after lifting and re-applying the accelerator, crunchy/harsh 2nd-gear engagement, a 1-2 upshift shock, and a 1-2 second 'dead' moment wit… Severity: medium.
Early CX-60 vehicles suffer from an overly firm, bouncy ride with excessive rebound, wobble on undulating roads and impact harshness over urban bumps. <cite index="5-1,5-5">Mazda CX-60 and CX-90 have been criticised by local and international media for having an overly firm ride… Repairs typically run $0-$1,200. Severity: medium.
A CX-60 PHEV that will not begin charging or stops early can have a vehicle-state, timer, supply, EVSE, connector, lock, temperature, communication, or vehicle charging-system cause. The indicator pattern matters: Mazda documents an orange blink when the selector is not in Park,… Severity: medium.
Mazda recall AR058A covers specified CX-60 vehicles produced from March 15, 2022 through July 15, 2024. Incorrect Dash Electronic Supply Unit software can generate multiple warning messages when the hybrid system or engine starts. The defroster, seat-belt warning, and 360-degree… Repairs typically run $0-$0. Severity: medium.
CX-60 owners frequently report the fuel pump nozzle shutting off (clicking off) repeatedly during refueling long before the tank is full, forcing them to trickle-fill in small increments. The cause is improper control logic in the fuel-tank vent/air-release valve, which lets fuel… Repairs typically run $0-$200. Severity: medium.
The CX-60 uses a single multi-plate wet-clutch automatic instead of a torque converter. On startup (and especially after a long drive followed by an overnight rest), owners report a whirring noise for a few seconds followed by a clunk severe enough to physically rock the car befo… Severity: medium.
Mazda's Japanese April 2023 service campaign covers specified early CX-60 chassis whose engine-control program can allow engine-speed fluctuation during steady driving, gentle acceleration, or while stopped to reach the transmission and create a rattling or clunk-like noise. This… Severity: low.
The CX-60 PHEV's displayed EV range is an estimate calculated from current high-voltage-battery charge and recent energy consumption, so it can change with temperature, speed, terrain, climate-control use, and driving history and may differ from actual distance. Mazda also change… Severity: low.
Diesel CX-60 owners report AdBlue-related warnings appearing early (around 13,000 km) and, after topping up, an 'AdBlue overfull' or persistent low-AdBlue message even when the tank (~6.7 L usable) is filled correctly. Overfilling the urea tank can trigger the fault and, in some… Repairs typically run $0-$150. Severity: low.
Owners of the 3.3L inline-six diesel report a vibration felt through the floor/seat/steering at a steady cruising speed (commonly around 45-60 km/h, and again at higher motorway speeds). Mazda attributes it to an elastic rubber bearing on the propshaft/drive shaft, felt more stro… Severity: low.
Owners describe pronounced wind noise emanating from the A-pillar/front-door area at highway speed (roughly 120 km/h and up), often likened to sleet or hiss against the windscreen. The noise is traced to door-seal fitment and, in several cases, a loose plastic trim piece separati… Repairs typically run $0-$200. Severity: low.
