per the TSB all cars need to have the recall work done before they can be sold. It is a safety issue so I what he is saying is probably true because of the liability issue. You really can't tell from driving it though...perhaps you could view the work order?

However, I still haven't received any written notice from the dealership regarding the recall.

I've seen that people in Canada, MI, and VA have received notices, but it's strange that the notices didn't all go out at the same time.

Did anyone in the Northeast get the recall notices?
I'm in Texas. As of today (May 6) I still haven't received the recall notices. I get touchup paint, I get surveys, I get all sorts of 8-related stuff, but no recalls. I already know about the problems. But Mazda doesn't know that. It doesn't inspire confidence.

that's really strange..they should definitely have notified you about it, my dealer has the part on order and will install it in a few days, they said it was ok to drive in the meantime...but if your vin falls in that certain range you should definitely be notified....

Here's an excellent link to service bulletins and recall notices:

http://www.finishlineperformance.com...ocs/index.html

The service bulletin on "engines cranks/No start" last updated 4/12/04 says that all vehicles, even those in for unrelated problems or normal maintenance should be updated to the "M" calibration. Anyone having trouble getting this done may want to print a copy of the service bulleting and take it with you to the dealer.

The damper recall only applies to vehicles with manual transmissions and only those produced between 4/10/93 and 8/29/03.
