car goin to dealer
hey guys i bought a used rx8 about a month ago and i believe the engine mounts are junk i get the heavy vibration so thats goin to get checked out since i have about 7-8k miles left on the factory warenty my question is i checked the thread about the recalls im goin to make sure recall #4206f was done but i also read about having the latest pcm flash,upgraded starter and battery, and coils are these all recalls or stuff that the dealer could possibly charge me to replace? cause if thats the case ill just do it myself cause originally it was only goin in for the mount but ill make note to them about the recalls and if i have to schedule another apointment for that then ill do it.. thanks guys

They cannot charge you for ANY recall.
you have 7-8k miles left on the bumper to bumper or the powertrain warranty ?
If its powertain, u might want to be careful.
if its bumper to bumper, print ALL tsb out, bring it to the dealership. have them fix it all before it runs out.

when a mazda dealership takes a car in on trade then they make sure that all the recalls have been performed but if you bought it from a honda or chevy or any other dealership other than mazda most likely they did not perform and recalls so just ask mazda to double check foryou.
