Clutch Pedal Assembly Warranty!!!!!
It was announced OFFICIALLY by Mazda that the Clutch Pedal Assembly is now under an extended 8 year warranty plan! So if you have a squeaky pedal then go get your free stuff! IF you have already purchased the new pedal and labor, then maybe Mazda will be able to reimburse you for the costs! I just got a call from Mazda because I was arguing this with them for 2 weeks and they did in fact push it into an extended warranty! Call your dealership and verify! University Mazda of Seattle called and told me! So I'm going in to get my money back!

But didn't Mazda tell the Gov investigators that owners could tell it was starting to fail by sound and feel or something and could address the issue prior to breakage?
If the owner has to wait till it breaks then this does nothing to improve safety!
Mazda should clarify in the warranty letters how the average owner can identify the issue

I haven't been forwarded the TSB, but they told me that it's covered and that I should come in and get my money back. The squeaking is also a sign that it is breaking. That's the first stage to it coming apart usually.

I just made a thread about my clutch starting to squeak. i put some wd 40 product and it stopped. And now it started again but alot less. I posted pics and people said the bracket seems fine. My next servicing is coming up and ill see what mazda says about this. I hope it doesnt break by the time i go to get it done.

Huge hole is huge
Thanks OP. There's always a good amount of people who have stopped checking those ever so popular threads, and then this drops in their lap to remind them. I, for one, don't find too much of a hassle. Better than making a thread about Oil, amirite?

First time I've seen this.

It's about damn time that Mazda recognized this as an issue. This should be a sticky, this is the #1 safety issue with the 8, everybody should know to take their car in if the pedal starts to squeak.

Well, that's about useless isn't it, as far as safety goes. I'd take in a squeaky pedal anyway, at least they are acknowledging the issue, maybe a tech would listen. Should have been a recall years ago, in any case.

too bad this isn't a recall or anything. cuz they never intend to update the part with another 0.1 inch thicker metal + better & more weld spot.
if this is a Civic then sure they will update it. but consider Rx-8's sale were never high (like 40K in the country, including the ones already been totaled), they would just wait until the warranty goes out.

Well, I am on here every day and have not seen anything about the clutch pedal warranty. I have seen that it was not a recall issue.
I have also just been to my dealer about two weeks ago about the squeak. Was not told about any warranty on it breaking. I also didn't ask, so I guess they saw no need to volunteer info.
