## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [09\-041\-25](/bulletins/11026098.md), 2025-12-04, Service bulletin: VISIBILITY/WIPER. Some vehicles may exhibit a distortion in the front windshield causing a distorted view. This is caused by the distortion test process during manufacturing not being conducted correctly. To eliminate this concern, the distortion test process has been modified to perform it on all units during manufacturing.
- [SA\-025\-25](/bulletins/11019160.md), 2025-06-05, Service bulletin: VISIBILITY/WIPER. Some vehicles may exhibit wiper blade contact with the A\-pillar trim, with or without a chattering noise. This condition may be caused by worn or contaminated wiper blades. It can also be caused by bent wiper arms, or loose wiper arm retaining nuts due to improper handling. Improper handling occurs when pulling on or forcing the wiper arms. Technicians should be aware that while replacement of the wiper blade may resolve some cases, correction of bent components or repositioning of the wiper arms, particularly when the retaining nut is loose, requires additional steps to ensure proper alignment and function.
- [SA\-010\-19](/bulletins/10154461.md), 2019-03-11, Service bulletin: VISIBILITY; VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER. The new 2019 Mazda3 has new features that may be difficult to understand. This Service Alert provides valuable information to support potential customer concerns. 1. Wiper arm park position is located under the hood. 2. When servicing front wipers, front wiper service mode is required or damage to wiper arms may occur \(see Service Information\). 3. If wiper arms are replaced, M\-MDS is needed for wiper arm adjustment \(see Service Information\) 4. DO NOT use wiper arms as markers when in dealer inventory.
