Mazda Motor Corporation has decided to conduct a Special Service Program (SSP) on certain 2014 Mazda3 vehicles. Certain vehicles which were previously inspected / repaired under SSPB0 need to be re-inspected under this new SSPB4 for the same concern (Original subject built range of SSPB0: from April 25, 2014 through June 14, 2014). When the repair procedure for SSPB0 was released, the affected lot numbers for the front power window regulators were reversed between the left and right side. The repair procedure was updated and corrected at the end of September 2017. This SSPB4 is to re-inspect the vehicles originally repaired under SSPB0 prior to October 2, 2017 as they may still have affected power window regulator(s) mentioned below. On affected vehicles, the inner end of the front power window regulator cable may be improperly assembled at the production stage. It is possible that the front power window regulator cable may be torn when lowering and raising the power window, which may prevent the proper operation of the window regulator. There are 472 vehicles in the United States affected by this SSP. The purpose of this SSP is to re-inspect the lot number of both the front driver and passenger power window regulators. If either are found to be within a certain lot #, then the affected regulator(s) replacement will be required. Owners of subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail beginning March 13th, 2018.
