Indeed sounds like good news.

I have my wife’s schedule for mid Dec for the 20k / 1y Service and besides this there is a long list of things STILL to be fixed, which I am constantly reminding my Dealer of:

• suspensions - no fix yet 🥵
• tank not 100 filled - even after 2 software updates by my Dealer, still no fix ?🥵
• front radar - seems to be a fix, Recall on this👍🏻
• front strut bearings - cricking again, need re-greasing, now seems to be a more stable solution 👍🏻
• vibration/ humming - changed already the prop shaft, now it’s even worse than before 👓🥵

Thanks for sharing. I trist my Dealer will do them too. If not I have information to remind him of 😁

 

Just to be sure: do not mix up strut bearings (clonking noise and harsh ride) with creaking lower control arms.

Strange for my car: they lubed the lower control arms once about a year ago and since then no noise at all. But maybe they were regreased without me knowing with every shop visit - and there were quite a number of them

Does your receipt of work have the part number for those top mounts? Would be interesting to compare as @ASH8 hasnt mentioned anything about redesigned bearings/top mounts being released but this could be very beneficial to any suffering owners.

 

No unfortunately not. It is not a gamechanger comfortwise but it is better. I do not know when they were put into production models as my phev is a very early one (i think july 2022) - mine clearly had the first revision. Maybe @ASH8 can add to that.

 

Could it be that they are just new? a car always feels nice on new top mounts for a while..I still have my 22 PHEV VIN, ill have a look at the parts database later to see if there is a change and its not dealer BS

 

As @Southeastern said. It is not good news if there is no new p/n listed for steering parts.

 

Burli which area of Germany are you in? I am in NRW. Which VIN have you got (please hid last 3 digit). Wonder if there is somenting i should also look for.
The car i tested back in Febrary was a total frustating one:a continous alarm in the city and with Snow...the one delivered recently is a total different behave...apart the lane departure...

From a Mazda EPC Electronic Parts Catalogue point of view I am not seeing many changes to Part Numbers or Parts Assemblies apart from minor a few weeks ago.

Fortunately these Mazda EPCs can be very accurate and usually a good indicator as to what is happening on Hofu production line and when, this time on this part it's not the case and I can not answer why it is not showing much.

 

Hi Ash, thanks! Can you see any changes on the stut tower bearings front (and back)?

 

I used two VINS from 22 PHEV and 23 July PHEV to check, and no difference in part numbers.
