Filing in context
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Computer/Control Module as the affected component. This filing is one of 13 Mazda notifications from 2008 in this archive. For scale, 3,931 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles.
Defect
On wagon vehicles equipped with roof rails, the weld securing the left roof rail attachment point is incomplete, causing the waterproof sealant near that attachment point to peel. Rainwater may then enter the vehicle cabin and reach the body control module, causing the power door locks and turn signals to stop functioning.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the left roof rail attachment point for water leaks. If a leak is present, repair the sealant at the attachment point, replace the body control module with a new unit, and inspect the module's electrical terminals. If corrosion is found, replace the associated wiring harness assembly with new parts.
