    Default Body control module.....smh

    Ok rant beginning, I bought a 2018 gt sport last year it has appx 17000km. Was driving the other day and my wipers stopped working. Hmm. So I checked all the basics. It would still shoot out w/s washer but no movement. It was raining that night and I was in Markham. I live in Etobicoke. So had to tow it to dealership, leave it at 0100am. This was 2 Thursdays ago...... there is no part in North America and it is on back order.
    Damn ran out of breath. Earliest is mid Feb if I'm lucky WTFH.

    Did you get the extended warranty? If so, a rental is covered. If not, maybe speak with the service manager. A month is a long time without a car.

    MAP saved me on three occasions. For the first time in my life, I came out ahead on an extended warranty.

    as said speak to the service manager about a loaner or replacement car. they can sometimes send in to ask even if your not covered for a car if the car has a long back order date. if nothing call mazda 1-800 customer care number and tell them the situation. on a brand new car thats not a good thing to wait so long without wheels im sure they will help

    I have a rental a 2017 Kia optima. (Garbage.... and rental cars don't come with winter tires..)
    Have talked to mazda Canada and they said they are trying to find the exact car to try it's BCM. Mazda says it will work but tech at mazda doesn't think it will

    Oh stop crying. It's very common for parts to be backorder. Especially if they are prone to failure, 1 off case or a brand new car and parts are not readily available. No rentals have winters (at least on that I've ever had) in the 2nd gen parts can be swapped but vin numbers have to be changed. Not sure how complex the 3rd gen is. European cars have been like this for years. If you know a 3rd party source with European vehicles generally any module can be swapped.

    3rd week in February at the earliest. Mazda has changed the BCM due to number of failures and that's when the part will be finished. In the future the dealers will hold stock of this new part.
