Gasgoo.com (Shanghai Dec 23) Recently, Mazda has carried out a recall of 3,229 units of CX – 5 of which the steering wheels have defects that might scratch fingers of drivers and even cause traffic accident in China.

Besides, there are other defects existing in CX-5, which have given rise to lots of complaints from Chinese customers.
