Can you ask them what VIN range for these "early models" and post it?
Just curious as I have a Jan 2013 dated 2014. Been rock solid 4 1/2 years and 55k miles later, but just curious if this is actually a thing as the only issue I ever heard of with transmissions was early model 2016's.
This was my understanding as well. Definitely a rash of bad parts on some 2015 and 2016 automatic transmissions. The threads I read here indicated that it happened very early, some as early as a few hundred miles, and were acknowledged and addressed by Mazda. Also, the failure mode was a very sudden and abrupt issue. When this guy pops in saying his transmission was making a "whirring" noise at 72K without mentioning any other symptoms, I'm going to assume his fluid level might have been low. Could have been a leak or maybe even slightly under filled at factory. I guess we'll never know. This is precisely why I plan to drop the pan to change the filter and put the correct amount of fresh fluid in it at 50K miles on my currently 45K mile car.
