Axela front-wiper control-module recall
Mazda reported that the front body control module could develop poor electrical continuity at the internal wiper relay because of the relay-contact design and its combination with the wiper motor.
The front windshield wipers may stop operating.
Mazda replaces the front body control module with a countermeasure part.
Exact model code BM5AS; official affected ranges include BM5AS-200448 through 200464, 300001 through 300914, and 400003 through 401337. Model code alone does not prove an individual vehicle is affected.
Parts & replacement references
Exact replacement specifications already verified for this model code. CarFactBook does not guess aftermarket compatibility from a similar-looking vehicle.
Replace when the key range becomes unstable or the indicator no longer lights; confirm the key design for the exact production period.
Applies only to automatic-transmission vehicles where the code also spans a manual configuration.
Use Mazda-specified coolant; Golden coolant has its own extended replacement schedule where the vehicle is marked for it.
Refill reference; verify final level with the dipstick and follow the exact engine/production-period procedure.
Use the exact oil standard specified for the engine; unsuitable diesel oil can accelerate DPF deterioration.
4WD codes only; normal schedule is no periodic replacement, severe-use replacement is 60,000 km.
Confirm the fitted tire size and the driver-door pressure placard before inflation.
Fitment can vary by trim, equipment and production change. Where the source states a configuration condition, that condition controls over the model-code label alone.
Vehicle valuation
Asking-price evidence only becomes public after the minimum comparable-data threshold is met.
CarFactBook only publishes a market estimate after collecting enough comparable observations for this exact model code and market. A foreign-market value is never relabeled as a local valuation.
