Smile Two Recalls today!!

I got an envelope today from Mazda with 2 Recalls one is for a Front Lower Arm Ball Joint it says Ball Socket Joint of Lower Arm may have cracks. The other is for a Fuel Tank Recall it says if RX 8 is parked and the engine is operated at High RPM's excessive heat buildup may cause problems with Ox Sensors, the neutral switch and backup lites causing MIL illumination and exhaust emission and drivability will be affected. It could also lead to problems with the Parking Brake cable tube causing loss of Park Brake function, malfunctions of the gas gauge and possible damage to the fuel tank causing fuel leaks and a possible fuel fire?? Anyone else get this good news?? I called my Dealer today and I will have them both checked out next Wed.
