Mazda has announced it is temporarily halting some production of its CX-50 SUV in Alabama in response to the Trump Administration’s automobile tariffs, according to Yahoo! Finance.

But the Japanese luxury automaker said there will be no changes to its overall production volume at the Huntsville plant.

Multiple reports say a production pause at Mazda’s joint manufacturing facility with Toyota will begin May 12.

The stoppage will only be for models intended for the Canadian market, a report from Bloomberg states.

Mazda will continue to produce the model for other markets, Nikkei reported.

In a statement, the company said production will continue as usual.

“As Mazda’s only vehicle assembly plant in the United States, we intend to utilize MTM to the fullest to support the growth of our business,” a statement from Mazda reads. “We will continue to monitor the situation, including government negotiations, market trends, and policy developments, and will consider flexible and appropriate responses accordingly.”

The Trump 25% tariffs on imported cars and parts was followed by retaliatory tariffs by Canada.

The CX-50, a compact crossover SUV, accounts for about 15% of Mazda’s total passenger vehicle sales in Canada, which amounted to about 72,000 units in 2024.

“Mazda Canada currently has a limited supply of CX-50 inventory and in-transit units that our retailers will continue to sell,” Mazda Canada spokesperson Sandra Lemaitre told Auto News.

If there is no change in the tariff policies, Mazda could raise the price of the CX-50 in Canada to offset costs, or withdraw the model from the market, analysts say.
