There are seven recalls affecting multiple systems on the 2010 CX-9, including the front seat heater, air bag inflators, and front suspension control arms.
- Seat heater electrical defect. NHTSA campaign 10V051000 affects 12,300 vehicles due to potential overheating and failure of the seat heater control circuit under extremely cold conditions. This may cause burn damage to the seat cushion or risk of smoke and fire. Dealers install an additional ground harness, replace the control circuit if needed, and repair the seat free of charge.
- Front suspension ball joint corrosion. Campaign 15V451000 covers 193,484 vehicles with lower ball joints prone to corrosion from water intrusion. Corrosion can cause the control arm to separate from the ball joint, leading to loss of steering control and increased crash risk. Dealers replace both lower control arms at no cost.
- Passenger air bag inflator rupture risk. Campaign 19V782000 involves 69,879 vehicles with replacement inflators that may explode due to propellant degradation after prolonged humidity and temperature exposure. An explosion can send metal fragments into the vehicle cabin, causing serious injury or death. Owners are advised not to drive until repairs are completed. Dealers replace the inflator free of charge.
- Passenger air bag inflator rupture risk. Campaign 17V429000 affects 205,377 vehicles with original or replacement passenger frontal air bag inflators that may rupture. The defect poses a risk of sharp metal fragments striking occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death. Owners must refrain from driving until the fix. Dealers replace the inflator at no cost.
- Passenger air bag inflator rupture risk. Campaign 18V717000 applies to 155,436 vehicles registered in various U.S. regions with inflators subject to propellant degradation that can cause explosions during deployment. Dealers will replace the affected inflators free of charge. Owners receive notifications, and the repair is mandatory for safe operation.
- Passenger air bag inflator rupture risk. Campaign 18V018000 covers 70,227 vehicles in specific regions with defective passenger frontal air bag inflators liable to explode after exposure to humidity and temperature cycling. Driving is not advised until repair completion. Dealers replace the inflator free of charge.
