2009 Mazda6 Advanced Keyless Entry Door Handle Request Switch
Special Service Program (SSP) 89

Mazda Motor Corporation has decided to conduct a Special Service Program (SSP) on certain
2009 Mazda6 vehicles equipped with Advanced Keyless Entry and produced from February 4,
2008 through February 27, 2009.
On certain 2009 Mazda6 vehicles equipped with the Advanced Keyless Entry system, small
cracks may occur over time at the rubber button of the front door handle request switch(es). If
moisture enters the switch, it could cause the vehicle’s advanced keyless entry system to
malfunction, affecting the door lock/unlock features. This could also illuminate the dash warning
lights, and in some cases, it may affect the push button start/stop features. Dealers should
replace the rubber button in the request switch on both front doors. In some cases, the request
switch may also require replacement. Please refer to Attachment II for repair details.
Owners of subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail beginning February 6, 2012.
