ANTI-PERFORATION LIMITED WARRANTY

The Anti-Perforation Limited Warranty period is 

60 months

 (regardless of mileage). This 

Limited Warranty period begins on the Date of First Service. “Date of First Service” 
means the first date the Mazda Vehicle is delivered to the first retail purchaser, is leased 
or is placed into service as a company vehicle use (e.g., as a demonstrator, rental or fleet 
vehicle), whichever is earliest. This Limited Warranty does not mean that each Mazda 
vehicle is defect free. For this reason, Mazda provides this Limited Warranty in order to 
remedy during the warranty period any such perforation (hole through the body panel) 
due to corrosion of the body sheet metal panels supplied by Mazda subject to the 
exclusions indicated under “What is Not Covered”. The vehicle must be brought to an 
authorized Mazda dealer for all warranty service. The authorized Mazda dealer will 
without charge for parts or labor, either repair or replace the defective part(s) using new 
parts. This transferable Limited Warranty is included with all new Mazda vehicles sold in 
the United States. Mail the “Subsequent Ownership Notification” attached to the end of 
the booklet to your Mazda Importer/ Distributor.
