by Problems with Mazda3 Audio System Lead to Class Action Lawsuit
Purchasing a new car is always accompanied by trust in the information stated on the label. However, a legal case has erupted in the USA against Mazda due to inaccuracies in the description of the audio system on some 2025 Mazda3 models.
According to the lawsuit, the base versions of the Mazda3 have only six speakers, even though the labels indicate eight. One of the owners, Kyle Johanson, discovered this difference after purchase when he couldn’t find two speakers in the rear of the cabin.
A Mazda representative in correspondence acknowledged the mistake, calling it a “printing error on the label.”
Which Models Are Involved in the Case?
The lawsuit includes six base versions of the 2025 Mazda3, among them the sedan and hatchback in the S, Select Sport, and Preferred trim levels. The plaintiffs accuse the company of intentional deception and demand compensation.
The lawsuit also provides for the disgorgement of profits obtained by Mazda through the incorrect labels. This story raises questions about manufacturers’ responsibility for the accuracy of trim information.
This case could have serious consequences for automakers, as it concerns not only technical specifications but also consumer trust. Similar situations often lead to a review of information verification procedures before cars are released to the market.
