![]() ![]() So, we waited in angst the next few hours until our appointment time. We had a long chat and decided that, although we were sure the technicians administering the ultrasound knew what they were talking about, that we would insist on another scan for a second opinion, just to ease both our minds. I was clearly pretty upset and relayed my findings to him. Mid-googling, Sam called to check in on how I was doing. It appeared guidelines in most countries had been updated in recent years to reflect those findings, but it really didn’t do anything to ease my mind about our experience. ![]() There was also some disturbing research from the UK that indicated about 1 in every 200 miscarriages were diagnosed incorrectly, leading to unnecessary D & C procedures. I thought a miscalculation was a very real possibility for us, considering we were surprised to find out we were pregnant in the first place. There were also an equal amount of sites indicating that a heartbeat should show at 7 weeks unless the dates were miscalculated. There were numerous stories of ladies online reporting that they saw no heartbeat at 7 weeks and then a very clear one a week later. I spent most of the afternoon googling how common it is to see a heartbeat at 7 weeks. The receptionist was very understanding and agreed to fit us in to see our OB that afternoon. Luckily, his clinic is in the same building as theirs, so they showed us the back way to get there using the fire exit so we wouldn’t have to face all the mums-to-be and new-born’s parading up and down the halls and in the elevator on our trek up there. The ladies at the ultrasound clinic reassured us that multiple miscarriages do happen and suggested we see our OB as soon as possible. I thought that another miscarriage was pretty unlikely to be the case (I’d already had 3 blood tests to show my HCG levels were going up every week and my nausea wasn’t acting like it was going to ease up anytime soon). We were told, “this has probably only just happened”. We went for our first scan this Monday, only to be told that there was no detectable heartbeat, although our measurements indicated growth to 7 weeks. ![]() I thought it was fairly common not to find a heartbeat at an early scan.

There will be no charge to owners for any of those services. If the camera is damaged and there is distortion of flickering, the camera will be replaced and a harness fastening seal will be added. In Mazda’s case, dealers will inspect the rearview camera and add a fastening seal to keep the harness from jiggling. Relative to other recalls, the fix is relatively simple. Mazda acknowledged nine field reports related to the issue. In 2020, Stellantis, recalled more than 318,000 vehicles across its Ram, Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler brands Honda, Toyota, and BMW issued similar recalls, and Nissan in September 2019 had to recall 1.2 million vehicles for potentially showing a blank screen in reverse. In May 2021, Mercedes-Benz recalled 342,366 sedans and crossover SUVs from the 2019-2021 model years for a rearview camera that can project a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse. Blank displays, delayed projections, and intermittent views have plagued automakers in both newer and older cars.Įarly last year, Ford expanded a rearview camera recall on the Ford Mustang to total more than one million vehicles. Since then, and especially in the past two years, automakers have struggled to meet the federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) as enforced by the NHTSA. Department of Transportation announced when the law would be enacted, giving automakers time to design the head units and fit them into modern dashboards. The rearview camera was mandated by law in May 2018 to limit the number of backup crashes into pedestrians, especially children. The Mazda 3 sedan is not included in the recall. The recall affects the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 hatchback only, and the 2016-2021 Mazda CX-3 small crossover. That can cause the image projected onto the screen to flicker or be distorted. The wiring harness connector can become loose due to normal vibrations when driving or from closing the tailgate or hatchback. The issue prompted the small automaker to recall 227,335 Mazda CX-3 small crossovers and Mazda 3 hatchbacks, the NHTSA disclosed Monday. Mazda has joined a slew of other automakers in recalling cars for rearview camera projections that can be intermittent, distorted, or otherwise unhelpful when drivers put the car in reverse. ![]()
