Check if your Mazda has a Recall
Concern Outline: Due to improper design of the rearview camera wiring harness fastener, the harness may become damaged from vibrations during normal vehicle use and/or while closing the liftgate. Subsequently, the connector pins wear out, causing high electrical resistance. This results in image distortion or flickering. A distorted or flickering rearview camera image while reversing could affect driver judgment, increasing the risk of a crash.
Repair Outline: Dealers will inspect vehicles. If inspections verify no concern with the rearview camera image, a wiring harness fastening seal will be added to prevent harness movement. If inspections verify there is image distortion or flickering, the rearview camera will be replaced with a new part and a wiring harness fastening seal will be added. The expected failure rate for this campaign is 3% of the population, or less. Production Note: For Mazda3, there were no changes in production so all 5-door hatch vehicles are affected. For CX-3, changes were implemented in production after October 15, 2020.
