10 min to change a starter?
Any way NgoRX8 is right. It's not a recall but a service bulletin fix. I still think it should have been a recall. I would have robbed that bank a lot faster lol

10 mins to change a starter is actually a bit long, honestly xD

Well when mazda replaced my starter it was 115 out so I guess they had to wait a hour and a half for it to cool off befor they can remove it. Then again they always do the report card and that takes time too.

A starter is part of the new recall. You just need to specifically mention it...
I think my engines going, i had to get a jumpstart today at the gas station. It would crank and crank and crank but no catch :[
