Warranty extension, no recall yet....
Count me in the ones who got the warranty extension letter and not the recall letter yet. My vin# was within the numbers I saw on a Mazda letter someone posted about it...so I hope to see the letter soon and have her looked at. I am selling it and either way this can't bet too good.

i got both letters today.(9/5/06) i was wondering if anyone has had their car in for this already. i haven't had any problems with mine, so i'm hoping they just flash my pcm. checking the plugs would be kewl, then i won't need to bother with it.
anyone who has had their car in for the recall, please post up your results.

Got my extention letter too.
I'm waiting for the engine recall so I can get my 20b installed...
Or maybe a R26B...
Should I hold my breath?
I might just get our 250 hp then... Yea Baby!

Got my letter yesterday. Hope to get it in soon for the check. Car has been flawless so I expect it to be flawless when I get it back.
Other wise the dealer will ge it back.
Mini Cooper did the same thing to me. Brought in a prefectly good working car. drove home a trouble some POS. brought it back "fix it" still screwed up. they got to keep it as I bought the RX-8 the next day.
Hmm Like the Solstice GXP. and I got an itchy check book.

I got both letters yesterday, only had enough time to quickly scan them over. What is with the part that says you can request an reimbursement and you just need to fill out the amount? Is it just for if you need to get a loaner or is it for our trouble?

When I got home from work last night both the warranty extension and my recall had come in the mail. I haven't called about an appointment yet but I was hoping they would call me soon to say my sun visor had come in so I can get it all done at the same time instead of making several trips.

folks that got the warranty leter but not ht eotehr yet- the recall is being phased in over a couple of weeks ( a "slow rollout") west and gulf regfions got it first since those regions have shown the most effected cars to date. the otehr 3 regions get it later. i notice at least one person stating the got the one but nothe other was from from illinois. that region and the northeast will probably get letters next week or the one after

BTW, I reviewed my docs and I have several pages, but they are only the warranty extension, extra pages for the manual and reimbursement form. I do not officially have the "recall" notice.

I got my recall and warranty extension letters the same day. Took my car in this Tuesday the 5th. Got it back at the end of the day. New plugs. New flash. Nothing else. It seems to run exactly the same. The engine may fire off a little quicker when I start it, but that may just be imagined. No new engine for me - thank God. I didn't want to mess with that.
By the way - be sure to take your car in dirty and low on fuel. My service advisor told me that Mazda is allowing them to charge back a wash and fuel fill up. I got about $30 worth of free fuel for my trouble.

I hadn't received my recall letters, but knew about it from this forum. called my local Patterson Mazda, in Tustin, Ca. and made an appt, and brought the car in today. They are going to do what is entailed in the recall, plus check my starter and plugs, check my AC cooling temps, and adjust for the loss in power. I opted to have an oil change, so my preliminary estimate is only 24.99 for the Oil and filter change.
I got an 07' CX-7 as a loaner, man o man, those are pretty fun to drive. not as fun as my 8 and I miss her already.
the guys at patterson mazda in orange county are really great with customer service.
