Where are you seeing 10yr/125k in the link you posted? I couldn't find it anywhere in the document.

Great idea. Didn't know it existed.

I knew that. Mazda just smartly started offering the turbo in most of their platforms. Great idea to spread costs. I had only heard about issues in the CX-5 turbos which was strange to me. I figured the CX-9 would have had issues a long time ago with the engine being used years before.

Interesting. I had not heard about CX-9's having as many issues as CX-5's. I wonder if it will go anywhere.

What class action?

That could be best. Maybe they will scan and send you the old records they have?

They can be strange at times. I bought a BMW many years ago and was able to get a printout of the service records, but many others on the BMW forums said they were denied when they tried the same. Some dealers deem it private information. Makes no sense to me, as once the car is with a new...

No CX-5 has ever had OEM hood struts. I added some to my 21 and they work very well. Worthwhile upgrade. I suggest Redline Tuning: Redline Tuning 2017+ Mazda CX-5 Hood QuickLIFT PLUS

There is a 11048 version. ASH8 can help or I can send the file. Yes, you can easily do it yourself with a USB drive.

If they charge you for the rotation, just an FYI, Discount Tire will rotate your tires for free.

You also may want to consider an ATF change at that mileage. From what I have read, the lifetime fluid recommendation is not necessarily great for the longevity of the car. The dealer was very cryptic about it when I asked about it at my last oil change - 25k. I plan to have it changed at 30k...

Agreed. Bought one myself last week off Amazon. Paid 17.34. Fit perfectly and looked exactly like the OEM one I removed.

I am glad my dealer doesn't make these mistakes. I did have to reset my own maintenance minder this time, but that was no big deal.

Nope

You certainly burn through some cars....
