What's wrong?
The interior rearview mirror in a 2019 Mazda MAZDA3 gives the driver a view through the rear glass, and the manual dimming version lets the driver reduce glare by moving the mirror to its dim position. The glass sits in a housing and is held to a backing plate by adhesive, so the mirror face stays fixed while the vehicle moves.
On affected Mazda vehicles, the adhesive between the mirror glass and its backing plate was not bonded with enough force during assembly. That weak bond lets the glass separate from the backing plate and detach from the mirror housing. If the glass drops out, the driver loses the normal rearview image from that interior mirror until the unit is repaired.
There is no warning sign before failure. The mirror glass can detach without a rattle, looseness, or other signal that gives the owner time to react.

What's the safety risk?
If the interior rearview mirror glass detaches, rearward visibility is reduced and crash risk increases. There is no warning before the glass comes loose, so treat a missing or loose mirror as a reason to schedule service soon. Repair is free at any franchised Mazda dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Mazda MAZDA3 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Mazda dealer to schedule the free interior rearview mirror assembly replacement that fixes the weak mirror-housing bond.
- Bring the recall notice if Mazda mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V558 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, and use extra mirror and blind-spot checks because rearward visibility is reduced if the interior mirror detaches.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Mazda technician replaces the interior rearview mirror assembly on affected 2019 MAZDA3 vehicles equipped with manual dimming mirrors. The replacement parts and labor are covered under recall 19V558, so there is no charge for the service. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through Mazda's new vehicle warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior mirror repair paperwork.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 19V558?
Recall 19V558 covers 22,571 2019 Mazda MAZDA3 vehicles equipped with manual dimming mirrors. The adhesive between the interior rearview mirror and its housing was not properly bonded, so the mirror can detach. Vehicles with auto dimming mirrors are not included.
What should I do if my 2019 Mazda MAZDA3 is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 19V558. If it is, contact a franchised Mazda dealer to schedule replacement of the interior rearview mirror assembly. Reference recall number 19V558 or Mazda recall number 3919G when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair the defect at no cost, and Mazda will replace the interior rearview mirror assembly free of charge at any franchised Mazda dealer.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced rearward visibility if the interior rearview mirror detaches from its housing. Without the mirror, it is harder to see traffic behind the vehicle, which increases crash risk. Mazda's free repair replaces the mirror assembly.
