Service bulletin 09-020-19-3524a

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Some customer may complain of warping on the driver and/or passenger side seat cushion trim, which may cause poor appearance complaints. This is caused by a gap between the leather seat surface and the seat cushion pad due to insufficient tension on the seat trim. To eliminate this concern, a non-woven fabric has been attached to the backside of the seat trim to increase tension.

08-003-21-38372021-12-02. Service bulletin. Some vehicles equipped with a seat ventilation system may have the passenger seat belt warning light on, even though there is no passenger in the seat. This concern may be caused by an overly sensitive detection of the occupancy sensor. The weight of the seat ventilation unit may be captured by the occupancy sensor, resulting in a false detection.
MT-018-172021-03-08. Service bulletin. Some customers may complain about: PASSENGER Seat Belt and PASS AIRBAG OFF indicator lights ON (A). Front seat warmers ON (B) and cannot be turned OFF.No DTC's are stored in memory. This may be caused by water contamination at connector C-56 after a recent aftermarket windshield tint installation.
SA-007-212021-02-06. Service bulletin. Some customers may complain that their seat warmers or seat ventilation do not turn on when the engine is restarted after being left on when turning off the engine. The logic has changed from previous Mazdas where the seat warmers and seat ventilation automatically turned on when the engine was restarted.
09-007-20-3674a2021-01-05. Service bulletin. At PDI or when new vehicle is delivered, some customers may complain about wrinkles on the leather seat cushion and/or seat back surface. Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired by a qualified upholstery repair specialist using the following repair procedure.
SA-016-202020-02-04. Service bulletin. Some customers may complain that their seat warmers or seat ventilation do not turn on when the engine is restarted after being left on when turning off the engine. The logic has changed from previous Mazdas where the seat warmers and seat ventilation automatically turned on when the engine was restarted. NOTE: Customers in cold weather are more likely to complain about this if their vehicle is equipped with Mazda Mobile Start (MMS) (not available on Mazda3 or CX-30) because the MMS accessory instructions state the seat warmers WILL turn on when the engine is restarted. The same can happen in the hotter weather with the seat ventilation. This information is incorrect for these vehicles. Both features will now require a manual setting every time the vehicles are restarted after being turned off. Consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual for more details on proper seat warmer/seat ventilation operation.
SA-020-202020-02-04. Service bulletin. Due to a vehicle side logic change for the vehicles listed above, the seat warming and seat ventilation systems will no longer automatically turn on when the vehicle is started using the MMS accessory. Both features will now require a manual setting every time the vehicles are restarted after being turned off. Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for more details on proper seat warmer/seat ventilation operation.
