Problem overview

Some Mazda CX-5 owners report experiencing rearview camera issues, including fogging problems due to improper sealing. These concerns are part of a larger recall affecting over 340,000 Mazda3 and Mazda CX-3 vehicles in the U.S. and Canada, where the wiring harness for the backup camera may become damaged from vibrations during normal use or when closing the liftgate. Additionally, some owners notice condensation or fog inside the front or rear combination lights, which could be related to the same wiring harness issues. The clear lenses on recent models may be particularly susceptible to fogging or condensation. It is recommended for Mazda CX-5 owners experiencing these problems to verify if their vehicle is included in the recall and to seek necessary repairs.
