Owners of 2014-2017 Mazda 6 and 2013-2016 CX-5 vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission
may complain about a vibration felt through the floor, seat and/or steering wheel while driving under
moderate acceleration at speeds of 25-30 mph.
The vibration may be caused by wear on the inner
surface of the tripod joint case (inner side of front drive shaft). To eliminate the concern, a coating has
been applied to the inner surface of the tripod joint case to improve wear resistance. Replace the inner
joint set for both left and right drive shafts.
