Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects

Warranty

Form No. 8S18-EA-03I

Government regulations in the United States require that automobiles meet specific 
emission regulations and safety standards. Therefore, vehicles built for use in the United 
States may differ from those sold in other countries.

The differences may make it difficult or even impossible for your vehicle to receive 
satisfactory servicing in other countries. We strongly recommend that you NOT take your 
Mazda outside the United States. However, in the event that you are moving to Canada 
permanently, Mazda vehicles built for use in the United States could be eligible for 
exportation to Canada with specific vehicle modifications to comply with the Canadian 
Motor Vehicle Safety requirements (CMVSS).

You may have the following problems if you do take your vehicle outside of the United 
States:

•

Recommended fuel may be unavailable. Any kind of leaded fuel or low-octane fuel will 
affect vehicle performance and damage the emission controls and engine.

•

Proper repair facilities, tools, testing equipment, and replacement parts may not be 
available.

Please refer to your Manufacturer

s Warranty Booklet for more information.

NOTE

The above is applicable for a permanent import/export situation and not related to 
travelers on vacation.
