Received notice in mail Tuesday Sept 27 - appointment made at Avante - work to be done Friday Oct 07. No problems no sweat.

 

I got both letters Yestereday. My control arm letter states the problem is for built dates between April 2003 and July 2004. So maybe it doesn't cover your car

 

I only got the fuel tank recall letter (yesterday). I already had the work done when my car was in being repaired after the dealer damaged it during a service. It was the least could do, considering they didn't tell me about the damage when I picked it up (Bank Street Mazda in Ottawa). I hope my car doesn't require the other recall - I'm a bit tired of taking it to the dealer for all these repairs.

 

I just got my fuel tank recall letter yesterday....made an appointment at Dave Wood in Newmarket.
I asked about the other recall (control arm I think) and they checked my VIN and said I wasn't affected. The dealer said very few cars in Canada had the other recall.

 

Strange...on here (http://www.finishlineperformance.com...esRecallBJ.pdf) it says build dates of April - December of 2003.

 

Got my letter and will be there (Avante) this coming Monday in the morning.

Got my letter today also.

 

Ha ha ... I too just got my fuel tank recall letter but didn't get the control arm one. I'm in the build date range ... hmm. Hopefully Chad's dealer is correct in saying that very few are affected by this.

 

I just got both letters today...No big deal... :D

 

Got mine a couple days ago... Debating on getting it done now, or after winter storage.

 

Got letter yesterday.. and an appt. Tuesday.

 

Had the gas tank recall done at North Hill Mazda on Wednesday, while in for 20,000km service. Got home that night and recall letter was in the mailbox. While at the dealership I also asked about the control arm recall. They checked my VIN in the computer and mine is not in the recall series. Btw, with the reflash that comes with the gas tank recall, the car feels a little peppier. No flat spot at 6,000 to 6,500 rpm.

 

I can go into the Mazda Canada system with ur VIN and check the available recalls on ur car along with the procedure printed in hard copy... let me know if you guys need help!

 

Got my letter yesterday, but I'll wait until my next oil change to get the work done. I don't idle my car at high RPMs, so I'm in no hurry.

 

cant find this feature on their website...i even registered my car thinking it will allow me to enter my vin and update me on recalls... but ... no.

 

Any one have their recall done in Montreal West Island dealer, 2-20 at source or ile-perrot.

I went to ile-perrot in the past for flash upgrade. tire /oil changes and service is ok. Any one have experience with the Service dept at sources? Are they good? I passed by Sources parking lot, I am sure if I leave the car there, I will have a lot door dings and scratches. That dealership is so small.

Other reason is I do not want to be the first one for the recall, hope they already know what they are doing for the recall.

T.

 

I had the recall stuff done at 2-20 on Sources. Seemed ok. The only thing was I complained about squealing brakes and they turned the disc and cleaned the pads or something, but since then I've been hearing grinding noises when I brake.

I went back, also printed TSB about changing the pads... we'll see. I didnt hear good things about 2-20, apparently Madza Laval is good. I'll probably go there afterwards for warranty stuff.

 

I work for Mazda, that's why I can go into the Mazda central system and pull it off for ya if U need!!

 

Someone posted an account and psw for US mazda site for all the info on flash version, technical manual etc. Do a search, you may still able to locate the info. I forgot to write it down. It has been over a year since I access the site.

 

Finally got the letter. Brought the car in for the heat shield.
They will also reflash to latest pcm.
They also ordered a/c part as per service bulletin. Game me an appointment for installation.
When I bring in car for a/c, will complain about squealing brakes..... Try to get a new set of pads.

 

Followup to my last post, driving around with the newest flash, feels exactly the same as the old flash. Some people have posted about improved perfromance? If the car is better, I can't feel it. Maybe it takes more time......
