What was reported?

The rearview image can flicker or become distorted. That can reduce the view behind the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Before the repair

Arrange a manufacturer recall check for the camera symptom. A temporarily clear image does not establish that an open recall has been repaired. Use the vehicle’s normal direct observation and mirror checks when maneuvering; do not rely on a defective display.

What the manufacturer remedy covers

The campaign calls for a dealer camera inspection, replacement where needed, and a wiring harness fastening seal. The reported recall repair is free of charge. Ask the dealer to confirm the current remedy for your VIN and location.

Keep this distinction clear

A flickering picture is different from a camera lens that simply needs cleaning. This campaign concerns the camera and its connection; cleaning alone is not evidence of recall completion.

Questions for the service provider

• Does campaign 23V487000 / Mazda 6023G remain open for this VIN?
• Does the work order include the harness fastening seal and the camera inspection result?
• If the camera is not replaced, what did the inspection establish?
• What should I do if the image still flickers after the recall visit?

Useful observations to keep

• When the image flickers or distorts, and whether it returns
• Previous camera work and the date on the work order
• Dealer confirmation of the inspection, seal installation and any replacement

After the visit

Keep the dated work order and check the VIN result again through the manufacturer. If the image problem remains, report it separately even if the recall work is recorded as completed.

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