Exactly my concern. Same casting process and or molds it seems.I'm the person who posted a couple of months ago with the 2022 CX-5 NA that had the cracked cylinder head at 13,000 miles, and posted the repair invoice. In reading all the posts since that time with the discussion of the parts numbers, if I've read those posts correctly, the consensus is that the replacement kits have the same old (possibly) defective cylinder head in them. So even though my car was repaired, it may still be a ticking time bomb?
I assume that it's still a minority of vehicles that actually have had their cylinder head crack, but if there has been no improvement to the cylinder head, why is it just a minority of us having the problem? That's really just a rhetorical question, as I'm sure no one has the answer, but any theories would be appreciated (in layman's terms, I'm not a car person).
(FYI, I actually ordered the car in April, not March as I originally said. And, as someone guessed, a lot of my mileage is highway mileage.)
With the publicity it's just hard to imagine the lack of communication
company wide given the potential ramifications. This is assuming the crack referenced is in the same location on the head.
Not familiar with the casting process but maybe there are a number of molds and only one of them is out of spec.
