Mazda today recalled 77,670 sport utility vehicles in the U.S. over a software bug that could cause front airbags to deploy with excessive force in the event of a crash, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said today.

The recall affects certain MX-5 Miata vehicles from the 2016 through 2023 model years.

NHTSA says dealers will update the airbag sensor control module software at no charge.

On Wednesday, Fiat Stellantis recalled just over 15,000 vehicles of its 124 Spider model, based on the same platform as the Miata.
