whoa...thanks for the heads up!

ironically, i've never even noticed the auto-leveling light to show up, or that the lights ever level off... I wonder if this was a problem from the start

The SUNVISORS finally get a TSB! Finally!!!!!!

I guess somewhere in 2006, Mazda got its sorry act together and redesigned it. 2006 models after a certain VIN aren't affected.

I replaced a broken driver's one late last year, so I think I got one of the newer ones (I hope).

Mine failed (idiot light came on) and a sensor was replaced. They didn't re-aim the headlights after so I drove for a while with the lights pointing down at the road...
Finally (after three visits and endless complaints) they consulted the freindly manual and got everything fixed up.

Most likely no...they seem to be for 2006s and earlier. But you could look yourself and find out.

The MIL Illumination w/ DTC P0455, the trunk request switch inoperative, MIL illumination P0126, & Headlight Autolevel Malfunction Lamp Illumination TSBs apply to some 07s (like mine )

So for an '05 with MT and no NAV, there's only one new (never before seen) TSB: headlight auto-leveling.

Based on how things worked when my 2006 was new (and is still happening to some degree), some of the TSBs will impact your model year, but your model year won't be listed on them until many months later.
