Just recieved my engine recall letter. They are calling it an emissions recall to sound better I guess.

 

Well... it really is an emission recall. People have been throwing around the title "engine recall" since some will get a replacement if your 8 fails the vacuum test. However 2/3 of the test involves nothing more then a PCM reprogram and a catalytic converter inspection.

 

the mods need to make a sticky thread for everyone to post that the got the letter.

 

received mine as well, on the 2nd
im stoked about the warranty extension if nothing else

 

Received mine not too long ago...

 

Me too.

 

I thought it was interesting how they wrote the letter. Paraphrased, it was something like "we will check your spark plugs, catalytic converter, oh and replace your engine if needed." I know it wasn't written like that, but it seemed like that was the intent.

 

Ah, I want to get mine. I went out at 130 Sunday morning to check the mail from Saturday to see if it had happened to come but there was nothing there yet.

 

got my later on saturday. it's time to change my front bumper and supercat.

 

Why?

 

An Engine recall, I had no clue...

 

mazda is making good.

 

i before e, except after c!!

 

same i recieved mine on saturday along with the 5 yr , 60k warranty :

 

got the same things on the same day...

 

Mine is at the shop today getting the check-up. I haven't received the letter yet but was at the dealership Saturday and the service advisor told me just to bring it in today (Tuesday). I'll be very surprised if they find anything wrong. My car has been flawless. I did notice a blue 8 on the rack with the engine completely out. It's interesting that they pull the engine from under the car with the front suspension and everything - I guess I'd never really thought about it.

Also - I'm driving an 07 CX-7 as a loaner. Not bad. It's sexy looking but from the driver's seat it's still a mini-van.

I'll keep all posted on my visit today.

 

Unfortunately my wife's RX-8 has been anything but flawless. Her car is slated for another trip to Mazda, the guy at the shop said the letter being sent out isn't from Mazda and isn't legit. He claims to have been presented with a few already.

Anyway, on this trip we hope to make it so she has heat and no water in her taillights. The guy in the shop might just have a heart attack when I show him our letter from MNAO. He has to know it is legit though.... right????

 

He knows. My dealer didn't know early last week but was not surprised when I told him about it. He said he used to work for Toyota and they had the same thing - customers knew about things before they did.

Anyway - when I was in there Saturday he knew all about it.

 

If your dealership is actually trying to dispute the recall, then you need to find another dealer.

 

haha yea thats outrageous

 

give me his name and phone number

 

Other people may have presented them the letter that was available on this site instead of waiting for it in the mail. If you got yours from MNAO, take the envelope with you for the proof that it came from them.

 

I got my extended warranty letter today, the 5th, but not the recall notice...are they coming in the same envelop or separate altogether?

 

separate

 

Same here. I saw the MNAO return address and figured "here's my recall", but the contents were nothing more than the warranty extension stuff.
