- 2020 CX-5 Signature Azul Metalico
I am the happy owner of a 2020 Signature AWD Turbo. It has 10,000 kilometers on the clock so time for that service. Here in Cali, Colombia we have been in lockdown for some weeks. This week automotive sales and maintenance businesses have been allowed to reopen so I tried to make an appointment. Well there are mobility restrictions in place for those under 18 or over 70. I am in the latter camp and when I tried to make an appointment for servicing today they said I can not deliver and recover the car because of my age. They also said though that because of the lockdown over the pandemic the mileage requirement for maintenance in order to stay in warranty has been extended up to 1500 kilometers over normal so as long as I bring the car in before 11,500 kilometers the warranty will remain in effect. Our lockdown requirements including age restriction have already been extended once by the mayor of the city but the current restrictions are supposed to end in two weeks (not withstanding that the health minister is clamoring for yet another extension). As I am only allowed to leave home in my vehicle twice a week and my round trip mileage to the city is about 30 kilometers round trip I shouldn't have a warranty mileage problem as things now stand thanks to Mazda's mileage requirement extension. I am not worried about the car (yet) since our normal service requirement is every 5000 kilometers or 3100 miles, which is well under the US requirement of every 5000 miles for the same car and motor. Fingers crossed for no further quarantine extensions!
