Folks are saying the radio station transmitted side-band data that resulted in the effective bricking. Others are saying that's not the issue, it's the software/firmware in the radios.
On page 20, We see that images need not have an extension, because the transport stream is required to specify a mime-type. If one can prove that somehow that mime-type was not set, then perhaps the radio station and/or the technology provider for their broadcast transmission equipment could be held liable. I'm not sure how the process of discovery would look for something like that.
Seems more likely Mazda could be in the position to sustain significant warranty claims in court if their hardware is found to be defective, or their testing & QE procedures to be lacking.
So looking at the specification here:
