Recal Poll for Engine
I thought it might be a good idea to get actual results of the Engine recall.
Please vote only after you have had your recall done.
I had mine done to day

Got my recall performed today, Only got the PCM reflash and I already had the new leading plugs installed as part of the delivery work - but my car is only 500 miles old at this point.

I got the bad news today from the dealer. They tested it yesterday and I failed. New engine should be in in 2 weeks. The tech has replaced 15+ engines so I hope I am in good hands.

I got the bad news today from the dealer saying I need a new engine. I have been have alot of power issues when the temp outside got over 80. They told me that I am the first engine replacement. I sure hope they know what they are doing. They told me they will have it done next week, I will hold my breath. Should I get a new flywheel and clutch done since the engine is out.

Mine is on engine #2, and it checked out with a clean bill of health yesterday. My engine #2 was installed back around April 2006. They did the PCM and the motor mounts while I was there. I was surprised by the difference the motor mounts made in the feel--much smoother. The stat from the dealership (Mazda South in Austin, TX) was that they've done a few dozen replacements in the past 6 months. Current mileage is 49K with about 8K on the new engine.
Next stop collision center to check some front end damage. A few weeks ago I hit a tire cap off of a semi on the Interstate when their tire blew and I'm hoping its just the air dam.
On the plus side I got to drive a '07 CX-7 for 5 days while they waited on the motor mounts. Pretty sweet ride for those of you in the market for a performance SUV.

What engine recall are we talking about? I just got a voice mail from my dealer that said my car is being recalled for emissions reasons. Is this the same recall? I havent seen anything on here about recall for emissions.
Nevermind, i've already answered my own stupid question

My dealer said they knew of the recall and did some allready, but did not know about ,CX-7 loaner,wash and gas. They called me back in an hour saying they have all the info about it now and will start (AutoWest Mazda Roseville). I informed them that it pinged on hot days when I pushed it at about 5k rpm. They said it PASSED. They ordered new motor mounts, should be in next week. They did the 30k service, oil&filter,coolant,rear end fluid,trailing spark plugs,(leading were just change). Glad I was a preorder N/C!! It is running real good and I have 30K left on warranty. Oh and they cleaned it and toped of the gas(12gal+). The CX-7 GT-AWD with 12 miles on it was fun for the day loaner, thanks Mazda.

Hmmm...
Wow they gave you a CX 7 for a loaner...sweet! That is the car I want to buy in about a month! My engine light came on today....checked gas cap and it was not on...I filled up this morning and forgot to secure it....first time. Light is still on despite the tightening of cap. Call in to dealer no call back yet..I am hoping they will take care of recall while I am in there. i have not got my letter yet...Illinois. They will probably want to sell me the CX 7 right then and there......I am not ready...I don't have any extra cash...hmmmm....if they can get me no money down and a great trade on my 8(which is doubtful). They offered $18,000 a month ago.......now I may take consider that!undefined

Stuck in a love triangle
I don't think this should be made a sticky unless the poll is reconfigured so that it shows which members ares voting for yes and which are voting for no.

Just got new flash-- engine and cat conv checked good and all other parts had already been replaced. Idel seems a little rougher but will wait for ECM to recalibrate before I complain. CX-7 with 103 miles as loaner. Filled gas tank for me. Gullo Mazda in Conroe.

Took my 8 in....for the CEL..... and it was the gas cap. My dealer says it may be another week till they can do the recall....don't have all the things they need to do it I guess. So, let me get this straight....I get a CX 7 for a loaner and it says so in the bulletin? I have yet to receive my recall letter.
