Expert Reply:
There may be a plastic underbody panel under the bumper of the 2019 Mazda CX-5 that looks like the attached photo that needs to be removed with a flat head screw drivers when installing Curt Class III part # C13315. It is located between the bumper and muffler. The placement of the panel interferes with the hitch installation so it would need to be permanently removed. It was installed by Mazda to slightly improve the aerodynamics of the Mazda.
