Official summary

Some customers may complain about spider web-like cracking (as shown below) appearing in the corner(s)of the MAZDA CONNECT center display. The cracks are internal and cannot be felt by touch. This concern may be caused by a lack of glue between the touch screen and the center display. To eliminate this concern in the future, the manufacturing process has been improved.

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.
