SummaryDoor Lock Will Not Work Using Remote Transmitter and Engine Will Not Start: Some customers may experience all of following symptoms: 1. The door lock/unlock operation will not work using the remote transmitter button. 2. The door lock/unlock operation will not work using the door lock/release touch sensor. 3. The engine will not start using the ignition switch. 4. The transmitter operates by itself. 5. The key battery drains faster than usual. Symptoms 1-3: This may be caused when excess load is applied to the remote transmitter, deforming the electrical terminals and creating poor contact with the battery. To eliminate this concern, the structure in the remote transmitter has been modified to reduce the deformation of the electrical terminals. Symptom 4-5: This may be caused when excessive load is applied to the remote transmitter, creating a gap around the gasket where moisture enters and corrodes the circuit board which in turn drains the key battery faster than usual. To eliminate this concern, the thickness of the case wall on the gasket mounting surface has been increased and the bonding strength of the components has been improved to prevent deformation. Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.

SummaryFuel Filler Lid Panel Is Deformed: Some vehicles may exhibit a deformed fuel-filler lid panel (1) attached to the fuel-filler lid box, resulting in a poor appearance. This concern is caused by the lid box not having enough water drainage capability which leads to the accumulation of water inside it. The water then freezes in cold weather and expands or the inner side of the lid panel absorbs the water and swells from long exposure, deforming the lid panel. To eliminate this concern, the shape of the fuel-filler lid box has been modified to have better drainage capability and a modified fuel-filler lid panel service part has been established for less water absorbance. Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.

SummarySome vehicles may have a âÂÂLOW ENGINE OIL LEVELâ warning message and a CHECK ENGINE light illuminated in the instrument cluster, along with DTC P250F:00 stored in memory. DTC P250F:00 - Engine oil level signal: engine oil level low. Upon inspecting the engine oil level, the level is found to be low and there doesnâÂÂt appear to be any trace of oil leakage in the engine compartment. This concern usually occurs when the mileage reaches approximately 3,100 â 4,700 miles (5,000 - 7,500km) and may also occur again after replacing or topping off the engine oil. The root cause of this concern has not been identified yet, therefore a repair procedure will be announced at a later date. Since this issue has been reported after a valve stem seal modification, it is very likely that valve stem seal damage is causing oil to leak into the combustion chamber.

To eliminate this concern, double sided tape has been applied between the outer glass mirror holder and the mirror glass.

SummaryWhen opening the fuel-filler lid to refuel, some customers may notice water and/or sand in the fuel-filler lid box area. They may complain about dried sand causing poor appearance. Since the drain hole on the dust cover is located in an improper position, water may not be able to completely drain which results in the accumulation of water and sand. To eliminate this concern, the dust cover (below) has been modified to drain the water more easily.

SummaryBeginning with July 1st vehicle production, vehicles will no longer have the In-Vehicle Digital OwnerâÂÂs Manual (IVDOM) installed. 2021 CX-30 vehicles with VINs 3MVDM******300001 or greater (produced on or after July 1, 2021), 2021 Mazda3 (Japan built) vehicles with VINs JM1BP******400001 or greater (produced on or after July 1, 2021), 2021 Mazda3 (Mexico built) vehicles with VINs 3MZBP******250001 or greater (produced on or after July 1, 2021), The IVDOM was first launched for 7th Generation vehicles (2019-2021 Mazda3 & 2020-2021 CX-30) to improve usability and accessibility of the OwnerâÂÂs Manual (OM) information and to reduce the number of OM pages. However, the situation surrounding the IVDOM has changed since then: The instrument cluster and center display provide the driver with sufficient information when an operational question arises or when a vehicle malfunction occurs. OM digitalization has been accelerating and consumer products and acceptance is rapidly growing with the spread of mobile internet devices. It has become increasingly difficult for the IVDOM to meet Cyber Security (CS) / Software Update (SU) regulation requirements. Due to these factors, Mazda has decided to discontinue the IVDOM and will shift their primary focus to the online Interactive Digital OM.

NOTE: Vehicles with SKYACTIV-G 2.5T are not applicable. Due to production variety of the failsafe thermostat integrated in the coolant control valve, engine coolant may enter into a dry hollow in the failsafe thermostat, resulting in unintended opening of the failsafe thermostat at lower temperatures (104-176 ðF (40-80 ðC)). To eliminate this concern, the production process of the coolant control valve has been modified.
