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 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.

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.

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.

anyone have their recall done at 2-20 in Montreal
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.

mazda 2-20 sources
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.

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......
