Official summary
When performing electrical repairs on the instrument panel harness (e.g. 2010 mazda3 dashboard upper panel sticky surface ssp99), take caution when re-connecting connectors 0918-501 and 0920-403. Both connectors are identical and near the same location. If connected incorrectly, multiple electrical malfunctions will occur (e.g. Hazard lights stay on).
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
