| SSPB0 | 2017-08-25. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:REAR WINDOW. Special Service Program (SSP) B0 2014 Mazda3 Front Power Window Regulator Cable. Dear Mazda Owner: Mazda Motor Corporation has decided to conduct a Special Service Program (SSP) on certain 2014 Mazda3 vehicles built From April 25, 2014 through June 14, 2014. If you are a recipient of this notice, your vehicle is included in Special Service Program (SSP) B0.On affected vehicles, the inner end of the front power window regulator cable may be improperly assembled at the production stage. Because of this, it is possible that the front power window regulator cable may be torn when lowering and raising the power window, which may prevent the proper operation of the window regulator. |

| MT-010-17 | 2017-08-25. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. Some customers may claim that it is impossible or difficult to view the Active Driving Display, even if the position of the display is adjusted through the Settings screen. This is caused by an incorrectly learned zero-point (closed position) of the Active Driving Display. The main reason this happens is because an object (e.g. gloves, paper, etc. ) was placed in the storage area where the mirror and optical receiver are housed. If an object is detected (i.e., jammed) when the Active Driving Display closes after switching the ignition OFF, the system determines this as abnormal and stops the closing operation, leaving the Active Driving Display in an open position. When the engine is started the next time, correction of the zero-point is automatically performed. If the object is still in the storage area during the correction, the system learns the incorrect position as the zero-point. As a result, the zero-point position largely deviates from the standard position; therefore, it becomes impossible to view the Active Driving Display from the normal view position. |

| 02-005-17-3013g | 2017-08-10. Service bulletin. SUSPENSION; SUSPENSION:FRONT:SHOCK ABSORBER; STEERING. Some vehicles may exhibit one or more of the following noises from the front suspension. A squeaking noise from the front shock absorber when turning the steering wheel at a vehicle standstill caused by stick-slip between the front strut bearing and the coil spring. A popping noise from the front shock absorber when passing over speed bumps caused by the bump stopper contacting the strut bearing when the shock absorber is compressed. A creaking noise from the lower arm when driving over road bumps at 20-40 km/h caused by stick-slip of the front lower arm bushing. The noise occurs when the road surface is wet or after a car washing, and becomes more noticeable as the speed bump gets higher. To correct these problems, the following changes have been made. For the squeaking and popping noise, the shape of the bump stopper has been modified and a protector has been installed onto the coil spring. For the creaking noise, the friction of the lower arm bushing has been reduced by adding a dry coating. |
