Known consumer names for this exact code
These names are published only when CarFactBook has evidence linking the consumer-facing identity to this exact chassis/model code.
DENSO application data lists Mazda 3 with BM5FS from 2013 onward; CarFactBook bounds this alias to the existing BM5FS catalogue range.
Name evidence (Singapore parts catalogue; sales market not established): DENSO Spark plug application catalogue, section headed SINGAPORE CAR, 6.pdf, page 177. A parts-application listing shows where a replacement part is catalogued, not where a car was originally sold. It does not establish that Mazda sold BM5FS cars new in Singapore (catalogued cars can be imports), it is not a Singapore vehicle specification, and it says nothing about other markets.
Exact-code applicability (BM5FS only): Applies only to a car whose model-code plate reads BM5FS. It does not cover the separately listed Mazda 3 BM with the PE-VPH engine (2015 onward), any other Mazda 3 variant, or US-market cars; CarFactBook has no verified US-market Mazda 3 record.

Recalls & safety campaigns
Campaigns shown here have been manually mapped to this model code from manufacturer records.
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 BM5FS; official affected ranges include BM5FS-204157 through 204411, 300002 through 307481, and 400003 through 410087, plus one repaired vehicle listed separately. Model code alone does not prove an individual vehicle is affected.
Adaptive headlamp aim recall
Mazda reported an incorrect headlamp aiming adjustment on some vehicles equipped with the adaptive front-lighting system.
The headlamp illumination direction may not meet the applicable Japanese safety standard.
Inspect the headlamp illumination direction and correct the aim where it is out of adjustment.
Mazda lists Axela BM5FS chassis BM5FS-400004–BM5FS-400345 for recall 3890 on vehicles with the applicable adaptive headlamp equipment. Confirm the individual chassis/equipment with Mazda.

At least one reference explicitly asks the owner to confirm the fitted item, placard, terminal layout or exact vehicle configuration.
At least one reference depends on trim, installed equipment, option package or component type.
At least one published fitment note limits the reference by generation, model year or production period.
At least one reference is scoped to a particular drivetrain, engine or hybrid configuration.
At least one reference carries a high-voltage, safety or specialist-service condition.

PCD alone is not enough to determine wheel compatibility; confirm stud count, offset, center bore, tire size and clearance independently.
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.
Component-family relationship graph
CarFactBook groups normalized component keys across exact chassis codes, then keeps the relationship evidence level explicit. A shared specification is not treated as fitment approval or interchangeability. Manufacturer-backed relationships can still be engine, grade or production-condition specific.
The exact vehicles share the same normalized documented specification key. This is evidence of a shared specification only.
Not fitment approval or interchangeability. Confirm the exact part, equipment, dimensions and production conditions before purchase.Both sides carry manufacturer-backed cross-reference evidence for the same component key.
This is stronger than a shared specification, but production period, equipment and any stated fitment conditions still control.Both sides explicitly carry CarFactBook-reviewed interchangeable evidence for this component relationship.
Use the exact reviewed relationship and its conditions. Do not generalize interchangeability to sibling chassis codes or other assemblies.This graph is bounded to the reviewed cross-reference results loaded for this exact chassis. CarFactBook never upgrades a relationship because two parts merely look alike or share one dimension; stronger levels require stronger published evidence on both sides.
