A Ghost on the Dashboard: The Alert that Shocks Mazda Owners

In a twist that seems taken from a technological thriller, the Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco) and Mazda Motor de México have launched an urgent call that has sown a seed of concern in the hearts of thousands of owners. The call is clear and forceful: 5,937 vehicles, modern CX70 from the year 2025 and robust CX90 from the years 2024 and 2025, must go for inspection immediately. The reason is a digital spectrum, a glitch in the fuel gauge software that blatantly lies to the driver, showing a level of gasoline higher than what actually lives in the bowels of the tank. This optical illusion is not a simple inconvenience; It is a trap that can trigger the most feared moment: that the engine fails, the vehicle runs out of energy in the middle of driving and flatly refuses to start again, leaving the user in a situation of total vulnerability.

The Shipowner’s Commitment: A Race Against the Clock

Faced with this challenge that puts trust and security in check, the owner has raised the sword of responsibility. Its mission is to inspect the Body Control Module with a digital magnifying glass, that electronic brain that governs vital functions, to identify and exorcise the programming error. The promise is as firm as the steel of its chassis: if necessary, “it will update the software, at no cost to the affected people.” It is not a simple repair; It is an act of technological redemption to restore peace to its clients.

But how can owners embark on this quest to safeguard their vehicles? Mazda has already begun to send its heraldic messages, informing that the reprogramming of the device is ready. The path is direct: take the unit to any dealer or distributor authorized by the prestigious brand. In order not to leave anyone in the dark, the company has deployed its lines of communication: the contact telephone number 800 01 62932, the web portal www.mazda.com and the direct link to the call for review www.mazda.mx/mi-mazda/programas-servicio. This service campaign, valid indefinitely, is activated with a crucial piece of information that, for now, mitigates the tragedy: until October 17, there were no reports that this digital ghost had materialized physical damage or personal injuries. It is a preventive warning, a call to act before fate writes an unwanted chapter.

This episode highlights the fragility of our dependence on digital systems in the modern automotive industry and the vital importance of consumer protection bodies like Profeco. Road safety and transparency with customers are pillars that, in the event of the slightest crack, require an immediate and forceful response. The lesson is epic: even in the most advanced machines, a simple bad code can become the villain of the story.

The SCJN takes up the Frida Kahlo case

The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) decided to resume its jurisdiction to analyze a key case on the protection of Frida Kahlo’s work. The plenary session of the highest court will study whether it is constitutional to prohibit the definitive departure from the country of paintings by the artist that are in the hands of individuals.

The presidential decree of 1984

The central point is article 6 of the decree issued in 1984, during the government of Miguel de la Madrid. The provision declared Kahlo’s entire production an artistic monument and prohibited its permanent export. Now, the Court must determine whether this restriction exceeds the powers of the Executive Branch.

The case strikes a balance between the protection of cultural heritage and property rights. The resolution will set a precedent on the scope of the State to limit the circulation of private artistic goods.

The SCJN has not set a date for the discussion in plenary, but the debate promises to be intense between ministers. Meanwhile, collectors and heirs are closely following the process.

Mobilization of transporters in Oaxaca

Federal passenger transportation service providers keep federal highway 190 blocked for the second consecutive day, near the SICT delegation in Oaxaca. They demand the regularization of their units and attention to their demands from the federal authorities.

The mobilization is led by the General Coordinator of Oaxacan Transporters. With Urvan-type vehicles and buses, they prevent circulation in both directions. According to leader Francisco Santos, nearly 500 units are participating in the protest, which will be indefinite until a favorable response is obtained.

Historical demands

The transporters point out that the conflict has continued for more than three decades. The lack of regularization prevents them from having legal certainty to operate on federal highways. For this reason, they ask for a dialogue table with SICT officials to advance a reorganization of federal motor transportation.

In addition, they denounce the alleged invasion of routes by the Binni Bus system, which they accuse of operating without authorization on federal highways and generating unfair competition for concessionaires.

Road effects

The blockade occurs in one of the main accesses to the Oaxacan capital. The protesters reiterate that they will not withdraw their protest until they receive a concrete response from the federal authorities regarding their demands.

The situation reflects a historical problem in the transportation sector in Oaxaca. Transporters insist on the need for effective dialogue to resolve the conflict that affects mobility in the region.

T-MEC: Mexico reduces pending issues to 14 and gets ready for a new round

Progress in the negotiation of the trilateral agreement with the United States and Canada.

Publicado 1 hour ago el 9 de julio a las 01:06 | 2 mins reading

The review of the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (T-MEC) entered a decisive stage. The Federal Government informed Congress that the negotiations with the United States reduced the pending issues from 54 to 14, according to a report from the Ministry of Economy published in the Parliamentary Gazette.

The issues that are still on the table

Both nations will hold a new round of negotiations on July 20. The objective: define the next steps, address the priority issues and make the results known. Among the concerns of the United States are the loss of manufacturing jobs, dependence on supply chains from third countries, the trade deficit, rules of origin and economic security.

Mexico maintains that these challenges can be resolved with a regional strategy that strengthens production in North America and reduces dependence on Asian imports.

Mexico’s proposals

As part of its negotiating position, Mexico presented 13 proposals. Among them, the elimination of tariffs applied by the United States under Section 232 to strategic sectors such as steel, aluminum and the automotive industry. The federal administration believes that withdrawing these measures would strengthen regional competitiveness and give greater certainty to investments.

In addition, the Mexican government seeks to promote investments in strategic industries: semiconductors, medicines, electronics and computing technologies. The purpose is to expand the productive capacity of North America, reduce dependence on critical inputs from abroad and strengthen competitiveness against other economic blocks.
