Official summary
In the event that all vehicle keys are lost and the vehicle key code is not available on the Vehicle Retail Data Inquiry system, replacement keys may only be acquired by obtaining the key code using the Repair Procedure below. Mazda recommends keeping a record of all key codes at your dealership. In addition, explain to the customer that they must keep the key code tag and/or record their key code in case of lost keys.
Vehicles covered
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.
