Emissions 8026C SSPE1 Dlr Ltr

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.

This condition does not comply with Section 1962.6 (Battery Labeling Requirements), Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations. Although only the six states (California, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington) have adopted the battery labeling requirements of Section 1962.6 starting with the 2026MY, Mazda is also implementing corrective action for vehicles in all other states. Repair Outline, Photo Requirement and Label Ordering: For both campaigns, attach two labels to each vehicle; one on the B-pillar and the other on the hybrid battery beneath the rear seat. • Label Kit Ordering: The part used in this campaign is not ordered from the Dealer Assistance Group (DAG). The label kit is ordered from eSTORE via a specific procedure outlined in the Parts & Warranty information. Please follow detailed instructions in the document on how to order the labels. Each order will appear in your dealers list of eSTORE orders and be shipped overnight delivery free of charge. • AVIS rental vehicles in SSPE1: This SSP includes approximately 900 vehicles owned by AVIS rental car. All AVIS repair facilities are authorized to do this repair, but if a vehicle is at your Mazda dealer for a different warranty repair, the SSP can be completed. • VITALLY IMPORTANT: All warranty claims will be manually reviewed. There are 3 required photos that must be submitted with each warranty claim exactly as specified in the repair procedure. Claims with incorrect photos will require a re-repair at the dealer’s expense.
