What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communication2026 CX-50 Hybrid Battery Label Concern - Emissions Recall 8026C Mazda Motor Corporation has decided to conduct a Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign on certain 2026MY CX-50 vehicles produced from September 8, 2025 through September 26, 2025. If you receive this notice, your vehicle is included in this Emissions Recall. What is the problem?

QR codes printed on these labels are incorrect and do not link to the battery information website, the required information related to the vehicle’s traction battery cannot be displayed. This condition does not comply with Section 1962.6 (Battery Labeling Requirements), Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations. What will Mazda do? Your Mazda dealer will attach the correct battery labels to the center B-pillar and the hybrid battery, free of charge.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Mazda 8026C a recall?
No. A emissions communication is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 8026C repair free?
A emissions communication is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does 8026C cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2026 Mazda CX-5, 2026 Mazda CX-50. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
