Drivetrain - Oil Seepage From The Inner CV Joint Boot
Bulletin No.: 03-002/09
Last Issued: 07/24/2009
Subject:
OIL SEEPAGE FROM JOINT SHAFT
APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINS
2010 Mazda3
DESCRIPTION
Some new vehicles may exhibit oil seepage underneath the bearing bracket (A) on the right side of the joint shaft. This is caused by the oil content
separating from the grease applied to the bearing and spline seeping from the seal and bracket.
There is no functional problem with this issue since the amount of oil seepage is very small compared to the amount of grease. Note that the oil seepage
will stop while the vehicle is in use.
If you encounter a customer complaint about this concern, wipe off the oil with a rag. DO NOT replace the joint shaft.
