    Are TSBs covered by Mazda if vehicle is outside of warranty?

    I have the list of TSBs applicable for my CX-5 2016 and find some of them may be applicable for me. If I take it to the dealership and mention the issue and assuming they find the TSB will they (Mazda) cover the issue? Or should I even give them the TSB #?

    Service manager comment - need inputs on brake lines

    Metal or braided type - as per my SA has its own issues. He said even top end performance cars like Porche, Massarati, etc. are using rubber hoses. The issue is flexibility and metal/braided lines tend to last less and fail at the fittings' end ; unless some really high-end lines which has...

    Driver side mirror assembly question

    My driver side mirror assembly got hit and basically warrants a replacement. The good news is the mirror is intact. It has heated option, signal and has blind monitor. Everything still functions including the motor but the plastic housing broke and the bottom part clipped off and broke. Now I...

    Getting worse - Infotainment restarts multiple times/sluggish when cold

    Can I clone a new not yet locked to any vehicle SD card containing N.A. maps (I bought one from ebay) or I must first lock it to my vehicle (+65 miles, etc.) and then only will be able to clone it? Just bought a BHP1 66 EZ1N from by Mazda service guy for 45 USD. He said that's the latest there...

    Getting worse - Infotainment restarts multiple times/sluggish when cold

    I cleaned and also made sure the slot where the SD card goes in is clean too. However, the problem continued. However, looking into the potential solutions caused me to remember something else. The SD Card itself. What Mazda provides. There's a thread on some extreme hiking/mountain forum where...

    Getting worse - Infotainment restarts multiple times/sluggish when cold

    Now that the temperatures have dropped, my Infotainment center is acting weird. This used to happen during warranty period too but now I am kicking myself for ignoring it. It got terribly worse now. As long as the temp outside is low (near 4C / 40F) my infotainment screen do not come up and...
