Official summary

When installing a navigation sd card, confirm that the card is unlocked. Also, mazda does not recommend swapping navigation system sd cards from one vehicle to another for testing. If swapped, the sd card that is installed into the other vehicle becomes linked to the vin of that vehicle.

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.
