2015-17 Mazda BM/BN Mazda3: front windscreen wipers may not work

In May 2019, recall campaign R201902 was issued for Mazda BM and BN Mazda3 vehicles that were available for sale from 20 July 2015 to 11 July 2017. Due to a defective relay in the Front Body Control Module (F-BCM), the front windscreen wipers may become inoperative. Drivers may therefore experience reduced or poor visibility while driving and this increased the risk of a collision. To fix, the Front Body Control Module was to be replaced. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17496.
