REPAIR PROCEDURE

5723B

 


Chronology :

August 5, 2022: MTM Logistics Quality regular inspection detected five vehicles at Mazda Port facilities with peeling or detached wire harness adhesive mounting brackets. Mazda began to investigate the concern; installation of the harness was halted to prevent any potential further outflow of the concern into the field.

August 15, 2022: Inspection of field units with accessory harness kits installed by dealers did not show recurrence of the peeling/detached adhesive.

September 2022~December 2022: Mazda conducted investigations of the concern to assess root cause, potential effects on any field units with the condition, and review of actual field conditions.

January 2023~Middle of February 2023: Mazda did not receive any field reports related to this concern through this period. However, Mazda continued to identify the total population of potentially affected vehicles in North American markets.

February 22, 2023: 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 MY 2023 CX-50 vehicles equipped with accessory trailer hitch wire harnesses.
