Tech bug keeps Mazda radios locked in to NPR

A National Public Radio network has become a must-listen for some Mazda drivers in Washington State, as a tech bug means they are unable to retune.

Owners of 2014-17 Mazdas, in the Puget Sound area, contacted KUOW to report their infotainment systems were permanently locked in to the network.

Missing file extensions in album images sent with its digital-radio broadcast reportedly triggered the glitch. The fix, according to Mazda, requires the replacement of a component.
