CONDITION OF CONCERN
On the subject CX-90 vehicles, certain bolts for the steering intermediate shaft, front ABS wheel speed sensor harnesses or front upper control arms may not have been torqued to proper specification during quality checking activity of assembled vehicles. If that is the case, one or more of these components may loosen or separate while driving and cause a loss of ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chronology :
May 28, 2023: On this date, Mazda Motor Corporation received two similar field reports from the Japan market about vehicles which experienced a separation of the front upper control arm and steering knuckle. Mazda examined manufacturing records at the vehicle assembly plant and found that both vehicles had several components replaced during quality check activities after initial assembly.
May 29, 2023: Mazda began verifying the fastening torque record for other components which were replaced during quality check activities at the assembly plant, to determine if any other components may not have been torqued to proper specification.
June 2, 2023: Mazda began identifying all potentially affected vehicles.
June 13, 2023: Mazda held a Quality Audit Committee meeting to review all available information to date and decided to conduct a proactive field action on certain MY 2024 CX-90 vehicles.
