Bureau (BBB)
Mazda North American Operations
realizes that mutual agreement on
some issues may not be possible. As a
fi
nal step to ensure that your concerns
are being fairly considered, Mazda
North American Operations has
agreed to participate in a dispute
settlement program administered by
the Better Business Bureau (BBB)
system, at no cost to you the
consumer.
BBB AUTO LINE works with consumers
and the manufacturer in an attempt to
reach a mutually acceptable resolution
of any warranty related concerns. If the
BBB is not able to facilitate a
settlement they will provide an
informal hearing before an arbitrator.
You are required to resort to BBB
AUTO LINE before exercising rights or
seeking remedies under the Federal
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15
U.S.C. § 2301 et seq. To the extent
permitted by the applicable state
“Lemon Law”, you are also required to
resort to BBB AUTO LINE before
exercising any rights or seeking
remedies under the “Lemon Law”. If
you choose to seek remedies that are
not created by the Magnuson-Moss
Warranty Act or the applicable state
“Lemon Law”, you are not required to
first use BBB AUTO LINE.
The whole process normally takes 40
days or less. The arbitration decision is
not binding on you or Mazda unless
you accept the decision. For more
information about BBB AUTO LINE,
including current eligibility standards,
please call 1-800-955-5100 or visit
the BBB website at www.bbb.org/
autoline.
Being truly committed to customer
satisfaction is more than a phrase with
Mazda. We hope to satisfy every
customer directly, but if there is ever a
question about our decision, Mazda
believes in providing a fast, fair and
free method such as the BBB AUTO
LINE to ensure Mazda delivers on our
commitment to do the right thing for
our customers!

If a speci

where a solution cannot be reached
between an owner, Mazda, and/or
one of its dealers (that all parties
cannot agree upon), the owner may
wish to use the services o ffered by the
