Official summary

The 2017 mazda3 and mazda6 have the latest mazda connect software (version 59). Do not attempt to update with the software version available on ms3 (version 55). If you update to an earlier version of software, the cmu will need to be sent in and reprogrammed. Contact technical hotline if this happens for shipping information.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
