This noise only occurs when starting to move the vehicle while the steering wheel is fully turned to the driver-side (left side for LHD vehicle and right side for RHD vehicle). NOTE: The noise will not occur if the steering wheel is in the center or to the full passenger-side position. The noise is caused when the edge (A) of the inner ball joint (B) gets stuck with the steering gear housing (C). To eliminate the noise, a spacer (A) has been installed between the inner ball joint (B) and the steering gear housing (C) (both sides) to prevent direct contact.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10142521-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10142521-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10142521","components":[{"id":"steering","name":"Steering","parent":null},{"id":"steering-column","name":"Steering column and wheel","parent":"steering"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"MAZDA","model":"CX-5","year_from":2013,"year_to":2017,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2013_mazda_cx-5","2014_mazda_cx-5","2015_mazda_cx-5","2016_mazda_cx-5","2017_mazda_cx-5"]},{"make":"MAZDA","model":"MAZDA3","year_from":2014,"year_to":2017,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2014_mazda_mazda3","2015_mazda_mazda3","2016_mazda_mazda3","2017_mazda_mazda3"]},{"make":"MAZDA","model":"MAZDA6","year_from":2014,"year_to":2017,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2014_mazda_mazda6","2015_mazda_mazda6","2016_mazda_mazda6","2017_mazda_mazda6"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
