All 2 Known Issues
On the 2023-2025 Mazda CX-60 2.5L Skyactiv-G PHEV I4, the CX-60 PHEV experiences charging system faults where the vehicle refuses to charge, displays error messages, or stops charging mid-session. The onboard charger module occasionally fails to communicate with charging stations, and the charge port latch can freeze in cold weather. Mazda has released multiple software updates to address charging reliability but issues persist for some owners.
Common Symptoms
- Vehicle won't initiate charging
- Charging stops mid-session
- Error message on infotainment about charging fault
- Charge port light blinking red
- Charge port lid won't open in cold weather
How to Fix
Visit the dealer for the latest charging system software update. If the charge port is frozen, use the manual release cable (located in the cargo area). Try different charging stations to rule out station compatibility issues. A full system reset (disconnect 12V battery for 5 minutes) can clear temporary charging faults. If the onboard charger module has failed, it requires dealer replacement under warranty.

- TipWired CarPlay is vastly more stable than wireless on the CX-60. Get a short 6-inch USB-C cable and leave your phone in the center console. The wireless system is just too flaky in its current state.
