I'm missing something here. Where is the link to check my VIN to see if my vehicle is affected?
Thanks!
Not a link. It's in the TSB on the first page. Give me the last six numbers of your VIN and illl check it if you struggle.

I have a 2018 Mazda CX-5 touring model and it has the "front camera sensor system malfunction" error on. Less than 100 miles.

OK, after my promised trawl, I found the only TSB there is on the subject and not to call you out, it isn't related to a heat failure, it is due to the system being too sensitive to strong sunlight - it effectively gets dazzled and shuts some systems down temporarily to prevent the risk of malfunction. The mechanism is described on the last pages. It does effect early US KFs (2017 models). It also explains why the system resets itself when it can see again. See attached. The last vehicle built with the early camera was on the 26th April this year so it doesn't effect later models.
What exactly is the message?
Well, I am just going to revive this thread due to mine started showing up for the front camera sensor system malfunction just at 1650 km while sitting on the traffic at the highway. It is not even sunny, however it was cloudy and temperature of -15c outside. I did turn off the car for 2 minutes hoping it would reset but still shows up. For some reason though, the traffic sign detector, the cruise control works and lane keep control. Pretty much what this camera should do but I wonder why the warning started showing up. Thinking could be moist from inside the cabin since I don't have the window down and the vent are usually closed at all times so its gets foggy inside.
Now I will wait until the end of the day, after work, to see if it goes away when it gets a little bit warmer later on. Leaving it under the sun to see if perhaps the moist is the culprit.
I guess it begs the question... why are your vents closed all the time such that it gets foggy inside? What purpose does that serve other than obscuring your vision? Is your commute so short that the car never warms up?
The CX5 uses less gas to run the AC than drive with a window down if you're thinking not running AC = more money in your pocket.

Reason being why my vents are closed always is the smell of the exhaust from other cars especially the big noisy muffler cars stinks and my wife can't stand it since she is on her first trimester. It is not to save on gas, heck, my AC is always on to help lessen the moist but still builds up once in a while then I would let the vent open for a few minutes to clear up then back to close.

gotcha. but pretty sure when you set the system to just defrost (front) you can't use recirculating air, regardless if the AC is on.
