WARRANTY EXTENSION
For certain 2014-2016 Mazda3 vehicles, the warranty coverage for specific repair of the Mazda
Connect Center Display is extended to 7 years (84 months) from the original warranty start date, with
no mileage limitation.

CONDITION OF CONCERN
On certain 2014-2016 Mazda3 vehicles, the Mazda Connect touch screen in the center display may
not accept touch commands properly or may operate by itself (ghost touch).
The ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) film of touch screen may be corroded due to moisture, which may
adhere on the lens of touch screen during the cleaning process at the plant. The corrosion may
allow the electrostatic capacity to vary without any input, causing the malfunction of touch screen.
