The Safety Concern: Mirror Detachment Risk

Mazda has identified a potentially dangerous manufacturing defect in certain 2019 Mazda3 vehicles. The adhesive bonding the interior rearview mirror to its housing may not have been properly applied during production. This bonding issue could allow the mirror to unexpectedly detach from its housing while driving.

This defect presents a serious safety hazard for several reasons:

• Sudden visibility loss: A detached mirror eliminates the driver's rear visibility without warning
• Distraction hazard: A falling mirror could startle the driver or strike vehicle occupants
• Crash risk: Both scenarios significantly increase the likelihood of a collision
