Official summary

If one of the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control modules has to be replaced on a 2017-2018 CX-5, inspect the labels (1) and (2) on the modules (P/N KB8C-67Y30E). Modules that have an ?A9? label cannot be used with modules that have an ?A8? and are no longer available.

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.
