PARTS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION
Recall Campaign 4621B

CONDITION OF CONCERN

The power liftgate may partially lower unexpectedly from the fully opened position when the vehicle is parked facing uphill on a slope in high ambient temperature. If the power liftgate partially lowers while a person is accessing the rear storage area of the vehicle, they may unexpectedly hit the liftgate and increase the risk of injury. There is no risk of the liftgate unexpectedly lowering completely as a result of this defect.

Causal factor:

Due to an improper frictional retaining force of certain power liftgate drive motor units, as well as a reduction in liftgate support spring force in high ambient temperature conditions, the power liftgate may slowly lower slightly from the fully opened position when parked on certain uphill slope.

OUTLINE OF REPAIR

The power liftgate drive units on both sides will be checked for the product lot numbers.

If the power liftgate drive unit has the affected lot number, it will be replaced with an improved part. And the power liftgate control unit will be reprogrammed with modified software, using a MDRT.

Please refer to the Repair Procedure document on MGSS for further details.

INFORMATION

4621B

Estimado Propietario de Mazda:

Este aviso se le envía de acuerdo con la Ley Nacional de Tráfico y Seguridad de Vehículos de Motor. Mazda Motor Corporation ha determinado que existe un defecto relacionado con la seguridad de los vehículos de motor en algunos modelos CX-30 de los años 2020-2021, producidos desde el 1 de octubre de 2019 hasta el 24 de noviembre de 2020. Si ha recibido este aviso, su vehículo está incluido en esta campaña de seguridad.

¿Cuál es el problema? 

Debido a una fuerza de retención inadecuada de ciertas unidades en el mecanismo de elevación de la puerta de baúl automática, así como una reducción en el soporte de esta puerta en altas temperaturas ambientales, el mecanismo que eleva la puerta puede bajar parcialmente de la posición completamente abierta cuando se estaciona en un lugar inclinado. Si el mecanismo de elevación de la puerta disminuye su fuerza inesperadamente mientras una persona está accediendo al área de almacenamiento trasera del vehículo, puede aumentar su riesgo de lesiones. La puerta de baúl automática no bajará por completo como resultado de este defecto. No hay ninguna advertencia o indicación antes de que ocurra este defecto.

¿Qué hará Mazda? Proteja lo que es importante para usted 

Su concesionario Mazda inspeccionará el mecanismo que eleva la puerta de baúl automático en ambos lados (izquierdo y derecho) para localizar el número del lote de producción. Si el mecanismo luego de ser verificado se encuentra dentro del rango de fechas de las piezas afectadas, el concesionario remplazará los mecanismos por unos modificados. Luego del reemplazo de las piezas necesarias, el módulo de control de la puerta de baúl automática será reprogramado. Esta reparación se realizará sin costo alguno para usted.

¿Cuánto tiempo tomará? 

Tardará aproximadamente una hora en completarse la inspección y la reprogramación del módulo. Sin embargo, su concesionario pudiera necesitar su vehículo durante un período de tiempo más largo. Mazda proporcionaría transporte alterno, si fuese necesario, cuando su vehículo esté en un concesionario autorizado para una reparación por esta campaña de seguridad. Programe una cita con un concesionario autorizado de Mazda para que puedan discutir y satisfacer sus necesidades.

¿Qué debería hacer?

Mazda está preocupado por su seguridad, por lo que le recomendamos que se ponga en contacto con cualquier concesionario autorizado de Mazda para programar una cita para que su vehículo sea inspeccionado tan pronto como sea posible. No es necesario que lleve este aviso al concesionario, pero puede ayudar en el proceso de registro de la unidad.

¿Dónde queda el Concesionario Mazda más cercano?

Para localizar su concesionario Mazda más cercano, visite nuestro sitio web en www.MazdaPR.com o comuníquese al Centro de Servicio al cliente al (787) 620-7546.

Chronology of Defect

Power liftgate may partially lower on MY 2020 through MY2021 CX-30

November 18, 2019: Mazda received first field report of “Power liftgate doesn’t stay fully opened if vehicle was parked uphill” from outside of the US market.

December 10, 2019: As a result of the incident investigation, it was found that the incident occurred when the concerned vehicle was parked on a steep uphill grade where the slope angle was beyond the limit of vehicle specification. Mazda judged this was a rare case and decided to monitor the occurrence of similar incidents in the field.

July through August, 2020: Mazda received several field reports from outside of the US market, reporting “Power liftgate does not stay fully opened.” Mazda collected the involved power liftgate drive unit parts from the field and began an investigation into the root cause.

September, 2020: Mazda and the part supplier identified the root cause of this issue. It was found that the minimum retaining force specification of the power liftgate drive unit during liftgate operation was too low. Also, when vehicles are parked on steep uphill inclines and the power liftgate is operated in high ambient temperature, the support spring elasticity in the power liftgate drive unit may be reduced. These combined factors may cause the power liftgate drive unit retaining force to degrade and reduce the ability  to keep the liftgate fully opened.

September through November, 2020: Mazda decided to implement two countermeasures for mass production to improve the power liftgate performance. One was to implement a closed circuit in the power liftgate control module to apply increased power liftgate drive motor unitretaining force for supporting the opened liftgate. The other is to change the minimum limit of the specification for retaining force of the power liftgate drive unit.

November 25, 2020: Mazda implemented the above countermeasures on CX-30 for the U.S market.

December, 2020 through January, 2021: Mazda considered proper solutions to eliminate this failure in the field and developed repair methods. Also, Mazda determined the subject coverage of the affected vehicles with this failure in the field. Mazda had not received field reports of this defect from the U.S. market up to this time.

February 15, 2021: Mazda held a Quality Audit Committee meeting to review all available information to date, and out of an abundance of caution, determined to conduct a proactive field action on certain MY2020 and MY2021 CX-30 vehicles in the U.S. No accidents or deaths have been reported as a result of this defect.
