Look at all the new "TSB"!

I think I counted sixteen new ones start on the top! There is a lot to read and then come back and see what you think.

Well, I for one and glad to see them back because they were gone for awhile.

I thought this was interesting for the "new" guys!

Need to go see what else is new.....and there are a few that are just a little silly!

I'll inform ASH8 as he has a thread with all the pdf files of these within the thread.

I gotta check my motor mounts, vibrations went almost all away when I changed coils/plugs/wires but you can still feel it running, never had hesitation. Is the small vibration normal at idle?

I love the new TSB where they tell the customer to **** off when they mention condensation in their front or rear lights.

Yes, they are doing nothing, as condensation is a natural phenomenon.

A hurricane is a natural phenomenon too, but if it's happening in my sealed tail-light, then something is obviously wrong

An exaggeration sure, but my point is there.

I recall reading on here that Mazda has never made money on the 8. It looks like Mazda is trying to save as much money on warranty repairs on all Mazda vehicles by telling customers that nothing is wrong with defective parts.

I'm sure their excuse for snapping clutch pedals is: crash safety and customers must be using too much force.

Mazda have just Again REVISED the Fog and Condensation in Front and or Rear LAMPS Bulletin Today (19th November, 2009)....

The new Bulletin basically says that FOG is normal and will disappear, HOWEVER, Large Runs of Condensation and or Water inside is NOT NORMAL and LAMP should be Replaced...

Many Color Pics to show Details...
