There are no TSB's on this website!

 

they probably were there.... 5.5 years ago when this was first posted -_-

 

Bump. Remove sticky!

 

The TSB for the mazda3 are now located at;

^ That link above doesn't have bulletins for the newer Mazda3 like 2010-present.

Is there suddenly a shroud of secrecy on the topic?

 

Apparently there is. I was hearing my brakes squealing and grinding so I checked the fronts pads and they were in great shape. Realized the noise was coming from the rear. Was injured at work before I could get the rears checked. My son has access to AllData through his automotive tech program and found TSB # 04-001/16 issued on 01/14/2016 "Squeaking/Grinding Noise from Rear Brake". The problem is a caliper mounting support that is corroded. There is a replacement part with a different plating to correct the problem. I took the car to my dealer (Flow Mazda i Charlottesville, VA) and they had no knowledge of the TSB. My rear pads were worn out while my fronts were "like new". Car has 60,xxx miles. They said AllData doesn't have good info. WOW.
