## What is wrong

Mazda North American Operations \(Mazda\) is recalling certain 2016\-2018 Mazda3 vehicles.  A defective windshield wiper relay may cause the windshield wipers to become inoperative, reducing the driver's visibility.


## What can happen

Reduced visibility while driving can increase the risk of crash.


## The remedy

Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front body control module with a new module which uses an improved wiper relay design, free of charge.  The recall began May 7, 2019.
