The engine on my 2022 naturally aspirated mazda cx5, is making a loud ticking noise when cold started. The vehicle is in pristine condition and is services regularly at the dealer with only 33,000 miles. The ticking noise is a known issue for this make and model, where mazda has issued a tsb for faulty hydraulic valve lash. This is a distinct noise that is sharp and metallic and distracting when driving the vehicle, even after a period of time. I can hear it through my radio and it does not sound good. Evidently 2022 is not part of the tsb, yet my vehicle is still affected by this noise. Filing a complaint with nhtsa to formalize this record.
