What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationSpecial Service Program (SSPE1) - 2026 CX-50 Hybrid – Battery Label Concern Mazda Motor Corporation has decided to conduct a Special Service Program (SSP) 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 SSP. What is the problem? On certain CX-50 Hybrid vehicles, inappropriate battery labels were attached to the center pillar and the traction battery beneath the rear seat. 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 hybrid battery cannot be displayed. This condition does not comply with Section 1962.6 (Battery Labeling Requirements), Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations. Although only the six states (California, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington) have adopted the battery labeling requirements of Section 1962.6 starting with the 2026MY, Mazda is also implementing corrective action for vehicles in all other states. 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 SSPE1 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 SSPE1 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 SSPE1 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2026 Mazda CX-50. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
