2025 MAZDA CX-50 Premium Plus

The auction record lists the primary damage as FRONT END and the vehicle condition as CERTIFICATE OF TITLE. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification, citing damage to the grille and fascia, a raised hood edge, and a hanging front license-plate bracket. The certificate-of-title condition cannot be independently verified from the photographs. Visible damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle. Multiple sections of the trim surrounding the front grille are missing, with exposed mounting points and irregular broken edges. The lower and side edges of the grille assembly are also broken or absent, leaving uneven mounting tabs visible. The front edge of the hood sits noticeably higher than the grille and adjacent bodywork, creating a broad, uneven gap. A black license-plate bracket is hanging from the lower center of the front bumper. The restraint system shows significant damage. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel, and the driver’s knee airbag has deployed from the lower dashboard beneath the steering column. The instrument cluster displays the message, “Air Bag System Malfunction. Have the Vehicle Inspected,” along with additional airbag and restraint warning indicators. The airbag system, related control modules, wiring, sensors, and other collision-safety components will require professional inspection and repair before the vehicle is considered safe to operate. NHTSA decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2025 Mazda CX-50 Sport Utility Vehicle with 4WD, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and Premium Plus trim. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States by Mazda Toyota Manufacturing, U.S.A., Inc. The provided recall information lists four campaigns for applicable 2025 CX-50 vehicles: recall 24V649000 for a forward-sensing-camera malfunction affecting automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and automatic headlight adjustment; recall 25V167000 for potentially loosening bolts on Mazda Genuine Accessory trailer hitches; recall 25V413000 concerning airbag/restraint-control-module software that may cause improper airbag deployment; and recall 25V737000 concerning improperly tightened front suspension fasteners that could lead to suspension or wheel detachment. Applicability and completion status should be confirmed by VIN with Mazda or NHTSA before purchase. Given the visible airbag deployment and warning message, particular attention should be paid to the restraint-system recall and the full airbag-system diagnosis.
