One note regarding the safety features in these vehicles. There are 4 safety technologies listed by NHTSA. Including "full self driving beta" Teslas. 2019 TESLA MODEL 3 4 DR AWD | NHTSA (Note 15 recalls for this year)

2017+ models with the Activsense package have all 4, and were made standard by 2020. Models with the Activsense package use a radar system behind the front emblem, which is made of glass (interestingly, not plastic).

They're showing 2 recalls for 2019.
I have a 19 with no recalls, unless the recalls were for the non-turbo and if that's the case it should be broken out.

Those are NA recalls. They don't split out anything for our Mazdas - complaints, TSBs, ect all go into the same year/model buckets. So it's the readers job to sort it out along the way. They do however provide multiple trim options on the vehicle selection function, which might be misleading for those who are not familiar with the way the NHTSA groups their data.
 
You can check for unrepaired recalls here in the U.S.:

 
After a few years the CX-5 has less than half as many NHTSA complaints, relative to sales, as the RAV4.

Going by recalls and NHTSA complaints per unit sold, an imperfect measure to be sure given the NHTSA is soliciting safety complaints, the 2020 CX-5 may be the most reliable 2020 vehicle in all the land ;).
