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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
The Mazda Connect infotainment system is reported to freeze, go to a black screen, or become unresponsive, sometimes early in the car's life. Wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto disconnect or drop intermittently, often within a minute or two of connecting, requiring… Severity: low.
CX-60 owners report intermittent keyless (touch-sensor) entry failures where the door will not unlock, or the car re-locks instead of unlocking when the handle is touched, even though the indicator flashes. In some cases the tailgate/boot responds to the fob but the front doors d… Repairs typically run $0-$300. Severity: low.
Intermittent Mazda Connect lag, freezing, or Apple CarPlay and Android Auto dropouts can originate in the phone, its operating-system version, the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi registration, connection-mode settings, a USB cable or port, or the vehicle's Mazda Connect software. Mazda also docu… Severity: low.
A recurring NVH complaint is a rattle/knock from the B-pillar and door area, most noticeable over rough roads or at higher speeds (owners cite it becoming clear around 160 km/h and getting louder over time). Causes identified across the shared Large Platform include worn/loose se… Repairs typically run $0-$250. Severity: low.
Mazda's CX-60 manual distinguishes operating conditions from a charger fault. Flashing red means charging is temporarily unavailable because high temperature or a foreign object is detected; solid red means an internal abnormality or failure requiring Mazda inspection. A white fl… Severity: low.
