| 09-001-15-2979 | 2017-05-25. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. SOME CUSTOMERS MAY COMPLAIN ABOUT THE MAZDA CONNECT CLOCK (IN THE CENTER DISPLAY) CHANGING ON ITS OWN AND DISPLAYING THE TIME OF THE NEXT TIME ZONE (ONE HOUR SHIFTED FROM THE ACTUAL). THIS OCCURS WHEN THE GPS SYNC IS SET ON IN THE CLOCK SETTINGS AND THE VEHICLE IS USED WHERE TWO DIFFERENT TIME ZONES EXIST. THIS CONCERN IS CAUSED BY A WRITING ERROR OF THE TIME ZONES IN THE SD CARD SOFTWARE (MAP DATA). THE SD CARD SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO ELIMINATE THIS CONCERN. |

| 09-002-15-2995 | 2017-05-25. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.. SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT POOR RECEPTION OF THE FM RADIO WHERE THE RECEPTION CUTS IN AND OUT ERRATICALLY AND/OR THE SOUND VOLUME VARIES BY ITSELF. THIS CONCERN MAY BE CAUSED BY INADEQUATE SOFTWARE OF THE TUNER AND AMP UNIT (TAU) OR THE AUDIO UNIT. THE SOFTWARE OF THE TAU AND THE AUDIO UNIT HAS BEEN RE-TUNED FOR OPTIMUM FM RADIO RECEPTION. |
| 09-003-15-2997 | 2017-05-25. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS. SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A NOISE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE A-PILLAR WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS OR OVER BUMPS.

FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, A CLEARANCE NEEDS TO BE CREATED BETWEEN THE WIPER BRACKET AND COWL UPPER PLATE AND BETWEEN THE WIPER BRACKET AND DASH UPPER PANEL. TO CORRECT THE CONCERN, ADDITIONAL SEALING AND WELDING HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO THE WIPER BRACKET. |
| 02-001-15-2998 | 2017-05-25. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS. SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A CREAKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS.

SOME CUSTOMERS MAY COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT AIR TEMPERATURE FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL NOT CHANGE BY THE AIR TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB, AND MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY SOME RATTLE NOISE FROM INSIDE OF THE DASH BOARD. THIS CONCERN MAY BE CAUSED BY THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL LINK BEING PULLED OUT OF THE HVAC HOUSING. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL LINK HAS BEEN MODIFIED. |
| 01-002-15-3005 | 2017-05-25. Service bulletin. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP. SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A TAPPING NOISE COMING FROM INSIDE THE FUEL TANK (UNDER THE REAR SEAT) WHEN IDLING AFTER THE FUEL TANK HAS BEEN FILLED UP. THE NOISE DISAPPEARS AFTER DRIVING AND CONSUMING SOME FUEL. THE CONCERN WILL LIKELY OCCUR IF THE FUEL TANK IS OVERFILLED (MORE FUEL IS ADDED AFTER THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY) OR FILLED UP NORMALLY IN HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES AND THE FUEL EXPANDS. THIS NOISE IS CAUSED WHEN THE FLOAT INSIDE THE ROLL OVER VALVE (ROV) MOVES UP AND DOWN WHEN THE TANK IS OVERFILLED. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THE ROV HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO RESTRICT THE UP AND DOWN MOVEMENT OF THE FLOAT. |
| 09-007-15-3011 | 2017-05-25. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. SOME VEHICLES MAY HAVE THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) OFF INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHING AND DTC U3000:54 STORED IN MEMORY.
