Official summary

In support of the new Mazda MX-5 and CX-3, Mazda will make available for loan on a "as-needed" basis, aSpecial Service Tool (SST) to allow for the radar aiming of the blind spot monitoring (BSM) system. The (BSM) radar aiming is performed whenever the (BSM) control module, the (BSM) bracket or the rear bumper is replaced. The tool is available for loan on Mazda e-Store.

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.
