4. In order to file a claim with BBB AUTO LINE, you will have to provide your name 

and address, the brand name and vehicle identification number (VIN) of your 
vehicle, and a statement of the nature of your problem or complaint. You will also 
be asked to provide: the approximate date of your acquisition of the vehicle, the 
vehicle’s current mileage, the approximate date and mileage at the time any 
problem(s) were first brought to the attention of MAZDA or one of our dealers, and 
a statement of the relief you are seeking.

6. You are required to use BBB AUTO LINE before asserting in court any rights or 

remedies conferred by California Civil Code Section 1793.22. You are also 
required to use BBB AUTO LINE before exercising rights or seeking remedies 
created by Title I of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. sec. 2301 et 
seq. If you choose to seek redress by pursuing rights and remedies not created 
by California Civil Code Section 1793.22 or Title I of the Magnuson-Moss 
Warranty Act, resort to BBB AUTO LINE is not required by those statutes.

7. California Civil Code Section 1793.2(d) requires that, if MAZDA or its 

representative is unable to repair a new motor vehicle to conform to the 
vehicle’s applicable express warranty after a reasonable number of attempts, 
MAZDA may be required to replace or repurchase the vehicle. California Civil 
Code Section 1793.22(b) creates a presumption that MAZDA has had a 
reasonable number of attempts to conform the vehicle to its applicable express 
warranties if, within 18 months from delivery to the buyer or 
18,000 miles on the vehicle’s odometer, whichever occurs first, one or more of the 
following occurs:

5. BBB AUTO LINE staff may try to help resolve your dispute through mediation. If 

mediation is not successful, or if you do not wish to participate in mediation, 
claims within the program’s jurisdiction may be presented to an arbitrator at an 
informal hearing. The arbitrator’s decision should ordinarily be issued within 40 
days from the time your complaint is filed; there may be a delay of 7 days if you did 
not first contact MAZDA about your problem, or a delay of up to 30 days if the 
arbitrator requests an inspection/report by an impartial technical expert or 
further investigation and report by BBB AUTO LINE.
