Does your CX-5 come with these two long (for front) and short (for rear) tiedown eyelets in your tire jack storage platform? Mine has none. I checked a couple of 2016 CX-5's and they have nothing either. But I saw a new 2015 CX-5 at the dealership today which comes with a long tiedown eyelet but no short type.

My 2016 came with one short and one long eyelet (note that I'm not in the US though).

I have both in mine too. May want to ask the dealership about that. Looks like they're required to secure the vehicle to a flatbed when being towed. Page 7-3 (427) of the manual shows where they should be, and that's where mine are.

I just examined some pictures of my 2015 and I have two in the back and at least one in the front. All are the same size. Can't tell if there's a second one on the front...will check later today when I drive home from work!

Also look at page 425 at the same link provided by MazdaPumpkin (and thanks for the link):

as you can see two metal tiedown eyelets stored in spare tire area.

It seems you are talking about the locations (with round cover) to install these two metal tiedown eyelets, not the metal tiedown eyelets themselves. We should have only two total. The long one is used on front bumper and the short one is used on rear bumper.
