Official summary

Some customers may complain that the BSM indicator light on the outer mirror glass does not illuminate when: Customer vehicle (A) is slowly passing other vehicle, even if the vehicle is still in the alert area. Adjacent vehicle (B) driving at same speed, even if the vehicle is still in the alert area. Customers who have owned previous Mazda vehicles are more likely to complain. The BSM control module has been modified to address these customer concerns.

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.
