In the US they are replacing both driver and passenger airbags. Maybe Canada is next hopefully, as all 2005 airbags should be replaced.

I got the recall letter last month as well. I have booked service appointment next Wednesday at Mazda of Richmond Hill for this fuel pump O-ring recall, also for the airbag recall. See how it goes.

Just done both recalls today: Takata airbag inflator recall, and the fuel pump O-ring recall. All parts replaced at Mazda of Richmond Hill.

When you are doing the fuel pump O-ring recall, they suggested the level of gasoline is 1/4 tank left in the car.

As per my previous post, I had the car brought in a few weeks ago and the Dealership fixed the airbag recall and the pump o-ring issue regardless if I needed it or not.


I filled up today at gas station full tank and within seconds I heard a small pop or thud. I didn't know what it was but I thought it was the oil I keep in my trunk.


Turns out my car was leaking gas excessively from the bottom. It eventually stopped leaking 3/4 tank and is now back at Dixie Mazda to be inspected. Unfortunately, they are not making as a big of deal as I am and wont work on the car until tomorrow morning.


I felt safer prior to the recall service.

It turns out, the replacement o-ring was defective... Luckily they had a spare o-ring. I get my car back today. Hopefully, I don't run into the same situation.

That's exactly what I was thinking as well LOL.
I think Friday's they only have their B-Lineup Mechanics in at the shop.

I Just took my car in for the two recalls and i dunno about you guys but i live in West Covina CA and my local dealer (Puente Hills Mazda) said that they sent the recall notice to people but the O rings wont arrive until may. I told them prior to receiving the letter i was smelling gasoline inside the cabin of the car. Since i've had my car awhile I could tell it wasn't the fact that i had a straight pipe. Then i did my oil change the other week and saw gasoline streams running down the driver side gas tank and it began to dawn on me I was burning a lot of gas lately scared it was bad compression. I was even having hard starts. The service guy Nathan talked to his manager filled out a form got it approved and they special ordered the parts for me despite not being able to get them until May. I knew it burned more gas but every two days i had to fill up? that was kind of ridiculous. Anyway just wanted to shout out puente hills Mazda i've always hated the dealer but now i come to realize I just hate the parts dept. Ha Ha for their overpriced OEM parts that i need so bad. Hector, Nathan are cool guys very helpful and informative. thanks to Nathan i have a free rental till everything's resolved and btw the oil pump was the actual reason for the fuel leak and not the o rings but they are replacing the whole pump anyway for free. So Puente Hills MAZDA great service DEPT.

I took my car in to Stoney Creek Mazda for an oil change and to have the air bag inflator housing recall done as well as the fuel pump rings. They only inspected the fuel pump for leaks and said there were none. I suppose now I need to wait for the second recall letter to actually have the rings replaced. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had washed my car for me. I was going to wash it later that day so instead I took it for a nice long drive... 18 deg C in February so why not!

Dirtyswiff, the dealership replaced the whole fuel pump system for you for free? I wish they did that for mine as well. My car is drinking alot of gasoline recently as well, and once a while I smell gasoline inside the car. When the dealership did that fuel pump O ring recall, they said there were no leaks on the fuel pump.

Dirtyswiff

It might be up to the discretion of the supervisor or manager running that service dept. whether your situation is urgent enough to rush order those o rings. They inspected my car before they made the decision. I'm assuming they are replacing the whole fuel pump for me because mine was failing and if I went about purchasing the OEM fuel pump on my own I would probably end up going down the same route because it wouldn't have that new manufactured O-ring on it. Essentially it's their responsibility to replace my defective part and replace it with the recall parts on a fully functional fuel pump. That's the only logical explanation I can think of ha ha however I could be mistaken.

Just be thankful they replaced the pump assembly. The recall doesn't cover the pump itself.

lol I feel very lucky. I haven't had much luck with my 8 recently so I was due for some good karma.
