Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component
08-001-262026-05-03. Service bulletin. This bulletin supersedes the previously issued bulletin(s) listed below. The changes are noted in Red. 08-002/25 08/06/25 Some customers may complain that the front passenger seat belt warning light flashes and the seat belt warning beep is activated, even though there is no occupant in the front passenger seat. When a passenger seat occupant sits with a load on the front side for a long time with the seat warmer on, the occupancy sensor becomes dented and sensitive. As a result, the sensor determines that there is an occupant in the front passenger seat even though the seat is empty. To eliminate this concern, the cushion heater pad has been further improved to re-route the heater wire around the cell, preventing heat conduction from the heater wire to the cell. REPAIR PROCEDURE Replace the passenger seat cushion pad with modified one according to the instructions on MGSS (SEAT CUSHION TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION).
08-001-252025-06-04. Service bulletin. Some vehicles may experience an airbag system warning light flashing with DTC B1126:1B or B1127:1B. DTC B1126:1B - Driver-side side air bag module circuit resistance high. DTC B1127:1B - Passenger-side side air bag module circuit resistance high. This may be caused by coating on the terminals allowing oxidation. The new terminals have a tin coating to prevent oxidation.
SSPA6 FCa2025-05-05. Service campaign. Mazda Motor Corporation has decided to conduct a Special Service Program (SSP) on certain 2016 CX-5 vehicles built from November 1, 2014 through May 13, 2016. If you are a recipient of this notice, your vehicle is included in Special Service Program (SSP) A6. What is the problem? Certain 2016 CX-5 vehicles were evaluated under NHTSA’s new frontal oblique crash test, and the evaluation revealed that the fabric of the passenger frontal air bag may be torn during deployment of the air bag. NHTSA performed a frontal oblique crash being evaluated for inclusion in the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The NCAP test being evaluated is not a requirement of the current vehicle safety regulations or NCAP ratings, but will be used for NCAP safety ratings for future model year vehicles. Even though 2016 CX-5 vehicles fully satisfy the current vehicle safety regulations, we are conducting the SSP to minimize any potential safety risk. Action required: As previously advised the MDRT Tool loaner software expired July 15, 2020. All dealers must return their MDRT SSPA6 Tool to Mazda with a Warranty Part Return Shipping label by August 21, 2020. Any MDRT SSPA6 Tool not returned to Mazda by that time will incur a $1,000.00 missing tool charge. New Mazda dealers that do not have this tool, please fill out the Dealer Recall Help form on MXConnect > Warranty to advise you do not have the tool.
