What was reported?

A defective wiper relay can prevent the windshield wipers from working. Loss of visibility while driving increases crash risk.

Before the repair

If you cannot maintain visibility, stop in a safe place and arrange assistance. Do not drive in conditions that require wipers when they are inoperative, or try to recreate the failure in traffic.

What the manufacturer remedy covers

The reported remedy replaces the front body control module with one using an improved wiper relay design, free of charge. Ask Mazda whether this work is open or already documented for your vehicle.

Keep this distinction clear

Blade cleaning addresses marks left while the blades move. It does not replace the control module or establish why a wiper system does not operate. Keep these two service questions separate.

Questions for the service provider

• Is campaign 19V272000 / Mazda 3219D open for this VIN?
• Was the front body control module replaced under this campaign before?
• If the recall was completed but the wipers still stop, what further inspection is needed?

Useful observations to keep

• Whether the blades move at all, recorded while safely parked
• Date and weather when the failure occurred
• Previous module replacement or recall work-order details

After the visit

Keep the module work order and any remaining symptom together. A successful parked wiper check is an observation, not proof that every cause of intermittent failure has been resolved.

A booking or a saved worksheet records your next step. The manufacturer’s service record establishes which recall work was performed.
