Warranty extension for fail-safe thermostat

:
2023 CX-5S Select
FYI
Received a letter from Mazda notifying me of an extension of the warranty on the fail-safe thermostat inside of suspected coolant control vale. Covers 2018 to 2025 CX-5's, as well as some Mazda 3, CX-3, Mazda6 and CX-30. Coverage will extend to 15 years / 150000 miles, whichever comes first. You may get a trouble code of PO126. You may notice symptoms of long warm up etc.
I had a 2018 and now drive a 2023. I have said to myself more than once how fast the 2023 warms up compared to the 2018. Seeing this extension program really makes me wonder about the thermostat in the 2018.
Two hour inspection and repair. If your old like me a thermostat change takes about 20 minutes.
 
I just had that fix done on my '22 a few weeks ago for the same symptoms. Coolant control valve was replaced; took about 2 hours. From what I understood, this is applicable to those with cylinder deactivation (like mine).
