Mazda recall: Back over prevention
What is wrong
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Mazda3 and 2016-2021 CX-3 vehicles. The rearview camera image may not display properly by showing a flickering or distorted image.
What could happen
A rearview camera that does not display properly can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
