I gots mine, but I'm Austin yo!

Ajax

just checked my mail. dont have it yet.
i might not get mine since mazda isnt too keen on keeping up to date w/my address changes.
I'll be going to the dealer this week anyway for oil change and stuff so i might as well have them check everything.

Raptor2k

But it's not like we need it, right? All they have to check is the VIN.

Mine is a lease, and I never recieve notices of this type. I do plan on keeping her, so I guess I can just take her in to get looked at?? Any ideas?

jenkins-crew

got it...

Str8cold

What is the recall regarding?

Ajax

possible engine replacements due to oil leakage..
check out the rx8-media news forum for full details.
everyone should get the notice, no matter if you lease or own.

chr1s

Yup. I had to actually call MNAO and update my information with them, even though I've had a few trips to the dealership for TSB's. The dealer will not automatically do it for you.

So, if you haven't been getting any notices, might want to try calling mazda.

RotaryNews.com has confirmed that there will be a recall on the 2004, 2005 and some 2006 Mazda RX-8s. Not every RX-8 will need a new engine, only those that fail a series of tests, including a new vacuum test. The replacement engines will correct for issues ranging from flooding, hard starting, complete loss of compression, and use of Synthetic Oil in hot climates. For those that do not require an engine replacement, the ECU will be reflashed to provide for more lubrication (an already released Flash). Recall notice letters will be sent out to owners on a staggered schedule. At this point some dealers do not know about the recall, as the bulletin has not been sent.

Jeremy Barnes from Mazda Public Relations stated: "We will not walk away from any Mazda owner." Jeremy also pointed out that other issues that have escaped on the Internet as of late were only part of the story. He hopes the recall action by Mazda will show owners that Mazda is doing the right thing after all.

We at RotaryNews say, if you own an RX-8, check over this list of TSB's (Click Here). If your car is experiencing any of the issues listed on that page, print out the ones that apply to you, and bring them down to the service department while they check your car for the other recalls. We, at RotaryNews also say: "if in doubt, do NOT use Synthetic Oil." For those of you that are "Rotary Gods" (!) and know what you are doing, it is OK, other wise stay away from synth, and use the good old Dyno Juice.
