Attachment I - Dealer Information

CONDITION OF CONCERN

On certain Mazda5 vehicles, water may accumulate inside the door latch unit when the vehicle is exposed to a large amount of water (e.g. carwash, rainwater or melting snow). If the accumulated water is frozen under low ambient temperature, the ice will crack when the door is opened. When the door is closed under these conditions, ice can interfere with the door latch operation, causing the sliding door not to latch closed.

OWNER NOTIFICATION

Mazda will notify U.S. owners by first class mail beginning December 18, 2006.
