Due to changes in the parking lock mechanism, which is now hydraulically operated, the neutral range in the transmission can only be achieved if the engine is running (or Ready-On for PHEV). With this design, there is no provision to manually engage neutral. This can cause challenges to dealers, customers, or towing providers when a vehicle cannot start. In the event that a vehicle cannot be started or achieve ready-on, wheel dollies must be used to allow the vehicle to be rolled and moved NOTE: The following procedure is for moving vehicle around the service shop and not for towing purposes. Please reference the owner's manual for towing instructions.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10240490-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10240490-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10240490","components":[{"id":"brakes","name":"Brakes","parent":null},{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null},{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null},{"id":"parking-brake","name":"Parking brake","parent":"brakes"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"MAZDA","model":"CX-90","year_from":2024,"year_to":2024,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2024_mazda_cx-90"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
