## What is wrong

Mazda North American Operations \(Mazda\) is recalling certain 2019\-2020 Mazda3 vehicles.  The Smart Brake System \(SBS\) can falsely detect an obstacle while driving, activating the automatic emergency braking system and suddenly stopping the vehicle.


## What can happen

Stopping the vehicle unexpectedly increases the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will update the SBS software.  In addition, vehicles with certain production dates will receive an instrument cluster software update or replacement and a replacement owner's manual.  These repairs will be performed free of charge.  The recall began February 14, 2020.  Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1\-800\-222\-5500, Option 4.  Mazda's number for this recall is 4219L.


## Notes
