USA ONLY!

Dear Mazda Dealer:

Mazda Motor Corporation is extending the warranty coverage on Rotary Engine Core Components on all 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 model year RX-8 vehicles. The warranty coverage for the Rotary Engine Core Components is extended to 8 years (96 months) from the original warranty start date, with a 100,000 mileage limitation.

The following is a list of components covered by this warranty:

This is not a recall. This is a warranty extension for the specified parts only. Inspection and replacement of non-failed parts will not be eligible for reimbursement to the dealer or customer.

Nice!

First I've seen of this. Did you get a mailing with this information? If not, what is the source of this information? TIA

Wow, that's awesome.

A Mazda Service Manager who at this point in time will remain nameless.

This IS awesome. Above all else, it's really good piece of mind for the next few years, I'm approaching the 60K miles mark, and was worried that if the engine lost compression and went kaput, I'd be on my own. Great to know....

I guess they are planning to get good use out of that new rotary rebuilding factory in VA....

Wow, a much better plan then was intitially brought out. Good news.

I keep checking my calendar to make sure its not April 1st...

i heard this from another trusted source a few weeks back.

its not fake.

Nice!!!!

Do brakes count inside the warranty?

I applaud Mazda on this one! I called a dealership and said they haven't seen it in writing yet but at the last meeting they had with Mazda confirmed this news was coming. I don't know if many companies would do this for their customers.

Hehe, extensions extensions. It's not like the general public has nervous feelings about the rotary or anything..! :P

Very respectable move. :)

Must the weak US models. Because we got nothing in Canada and RoW! :lol:

What da heck!!?? Why the hell did I pay for the 6 yr/ 100K extended... stupid me...:banghead:

HOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WOAHHh

this needs to be stickied with a more attention grabbing topic!!

i figure this may help the resale market a bit..

Awsome!

This would be fantastic if true.

is this true even for the 2008's? i just got my this January....if this is true I am sooooo happy.

According to the OP's "memo".. it includes 2004-2008 model years.. so yuh!

If True, this is ONE HELLUVA sign of good faith.

FWIW, your warranty, even if it is powertrain only still has value due to your tranny, rear diff, and "accessory" components of the engine. Additionally, Mazda may acutally mail you outa small check as refund on the "double coverage". I have seen ti before.

not really.. this extension applies to only the rotary core/seals/gaskets.. so strictly the block..

your warranty I'm assuming is bumper-to-bumper.. which covers EVERYTHING on the car.

My 8 is 2004 with 81,000 miles.....................So does this mean my RX8, even though it is currently out of warranty but under 100,000 miles, now has coverage for those parts?

So if an Apex seal fails....it is covered?

You're under the 8 year/100k mile warranty.

Barring a knock on the door from Ed McMahon (holding a big check) this is the best news I have heard all day.

:)

I am not an engine guy........Rotary Engine Core, how often is there a problem with the core? Or the rotary Housing? Or Internal Parts, Internal Seals and Gaskets?

All the horror stories we've heard about engines failing........is it these parts that have failed?
