Mazda Motor Corporation is extending the warranty coverage for dashboards on certain 2010 Mazda3 vehicles produced from October 7, 2008 through April 28, 2010. For certain 2010 Mazda3 vehicles, the warranty coverage for dashboard replacement for sticky surface condition only is extended to 10 years (120 months) from the original Warranty Start Date, with no mileage limitations. Any other condition for dashboard replacement, such as discoloration, warp, or material splitting, is covered only for 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. On certain subject vehicles that are exposed to severe environmental conditions including high ambient temperature and humidity, the material used in the dashboard may deteriorate over time. If there is prolonged exposure and deterioration, the dashboard could develop a sticky surface. If a sticky dashboard surface condition exists, the dashboard must be replaced.
