2015 Mazda CX-5 Technical Service Bulletins

603 technical service bulletins (TSBs) are on record for the 2015 Mazda CX-5. TSBs are notes manufacturers send to dealers about repair procedures for issues seen in the field. They are not recalls and do not by themselves mean a vehicle has a fault.

• 10099420Jul 14, 2015Engine. Frequent engine starts under extremely cold ambient temperatures may result in oil seepage from the engine oil pressure switch. This concern may be caused by a lack of durability of the oil pressure switch under these conditions. To correct the problem, the oil pressure switch has been improved to increase the durability in cold ambient temperatures. All skyactiv engines equipped with oil pressure switch part…
• 10099232Jun 24, 2015Equipment. Some vehicles may exhibit either an audio screen that is locking-up (black screen) or an inoperative audio touch screen. In both cases however, the audio unit sound output is normal. This concern may be caused by an internal failure of the audio unit. The production process at the audio supplier has been improved to eliminate these concerns.
• 10099235Jun 19, 2015Equipment, Engine. Some vehicles may experience the check engine light on with dtc p0300:00, p0301:00, p0302:00, p0303:00 and/or p0304:00 stored in memory and accompanied with an increased engine oil level. P0300:00: random misfire detected p0301:00: cylinder no.1 misfire detected p0302:00: cylinder no.2 misfire detected p0303:00: cylinder no.3 misfire detected p0304:00: cylinder no.4 misfire detected this is caused by improper…
• 10099265Jun 17, 2015Equipment. Some vehicles may experience a lack of power during hard acceleration (approx. 6,000 rpm) in cold weather conditions below 32 °f (0 °c). Dtcs p0300:00, p0301:00 and/or p0302:00 are stored in memory. • p0300:00: random misfire detected • p0301:00: cylinder no. 1 misfire detected • p0302:00: cylinder no. 2 misfire detected this is caused by improper control logic of the pcm. The pcm may detect a false misfire under…
• 10099410Jun 2, 2015Seats. Some vehicles (without power seats) may exhibit a driver seat that gradually moves down by itself. This concern may be caused when a load, which is applied to the seat during braking, exceeds a certain level that could impact the retaining mechanism of the seat lifter causing the seat to gradually move downward. To eliminate this concern, the play in the lift mechanism gears has been reduced.
• 10105432May 27, 2015Equipment. Some vehicles may experience the check engine light and automatic transaxle warning light on with one or more of these dtcs stored in the tcm memory (p0842, p0847, p0872, p0877, p0780). • p0842:00 - oil pressure switch no. 1 (oil pressure switch b) stuck on • p0847:00 - oil pressure switch no. 2 (oil pressure switch a) stuck on • p0872:00 - oil pressure switch no. 3 (oil pressure switch a) stuck on • p0877:00 - oil…
• 10105435May 26, 2015Equipment. Some vehicles may exhibit a check engine light on with dtc p013a:00 stored in memory. • dtc p013a:00: ho2s slow response (during transition from rich to lean) this concern may be caused by an impact from a speed-bump or other source, causing a deformation of the gasket between the exhaust manifold (wu-twc) (a) and the twc (b).
• 10105437May 25, 2015Body and structure. Some vehicles may exhibit a condition in extremely cold temperatures (below freezing) where the hatchback will not latch (half latch) when closing. This is caused by the topper rubber, a component of the liftgate latch and lock actuator (a), hardening when the temperature drops below freezing. The stopper rubber has now been improved to eliminate this concern.
• 10105440May 19, 2015Body and structure. Some vehicles may exhibit a paint blister (a) and/or rust spot (b) on the lower portion of the liftgate panel as shown below. The thickness of the paint may be insufficient, causing decreased corrosion resistance. However, the thickness of “clear” has been increased to eliminate this concern.
• 10105445May 18, 2015Body and structure. Some vehicles may experience a rattle noise from the front door glass when driving with the window open approx. 1/2 to 4 inches (1 - 10 cm). The rattle noise may be caused by insufficient holding force of the glass run channel. To increase the holding force, the shape of glass run channel has been changed and non-woven pads have been attached to the glass run channel.
• 10105443May 18, 2015Suspension. Some vehicles may exhibit a chirp/clunk type noise from the rear shock absorbers (a) when driving on a rough road or passing over a speed bump. Visual inspection of the shock absorbers show no external damage.
• 10105447May 15, 2015Equipment. Some vehicles may exhibit the check engine light on with dtc p0456 stored in the pcm memory. • p0456: evap system leak detected (very small leak) the concern is most likely the result of the customer not getting the fuel cap completely closed after fueling the vehicle. This causes a small fuel vapor leak and turns dtc p0456 on.
• 10105453May 12, 2015Equipment. Some vehicles may experience a check engine light on with dtcs p0011:00 and/or dtc p0012:00 stored in memory. • p0011:00: electric variable valve timing control system - over-advanced) • p0012:00: electric variable valve timing control system - (over-retarded) this concern may be caused by variable valve timing (vvt) actuator spring shaft fatigue. During vehicle usage, the spring shaft may fail and cause incorrect…
• 10105452May 12, 2015Seats. When folding the rear seat back forward, the head restraint (b) may catch on the front seat back pocket (a). If weight is applied to the rear seat at this time (I.e. Passenger pushes on rear seat, etc.), the front seat back pocket may become torn.
