Thanks alpha dog.
Looked everywhere for this, could not find the install manual. Dealer will be getting a copy.
My hitch looks identical to this one and they told me it was a class II, which I asked for.
And thanks to everyone who responded. Never experienced a mess up like this before. It will be resolved but I wonder how many other people just accepted this dealers work without questioning it. They claim they have installed many hitches. They did not say they installed them correctly!

Maybe that's the problem, CX-5 OEM is a class 1 not a class 2. I think the CX-9 has an OEM class 2.
Correct. CX-9 is class II:
Maybe that's what it's supposed to be (uhm)I was most interested in the 2" receiver and the CX-5 OEM hitch is 1-1/4". 1-1/4" can be class 1 or class 2 - but the CX-5 specs say it is a class 1.

But the picture of it is wrong as it shows no cutout. Maybe a pre-production image from 2017?
I think that there is a cutout on the CX-9 Class II installation. The picture shows the hitch high up close to the crease in the bumper. I requested that a Class II be put on my CX-5, which most likely resulted in a cutout although the Mazda installation guide shows a similar installation with cutout for the Class I but with a much smaller hole than mine. See attached photo.
I do have a question for the readers of this thread.
If I have the bumper was replaced would it require the dealer to report this as a repair, which would be public and be seen by Carfax, etc.?
