My car is in that VIN range. I've had service since then. Should they have not performed this recall already?

Also, cas2themore, where can I get a full copy of that?

If all dealership really did this recall property, there wouldnt be so many post about *oh I just did the recall X months ago, and now my engine is dead!*

Cuz theres no way Mazda will know if the Dealership actually follow the guideline.

oh also, nope, I do NOT have that sticker under my hood. You can go ahead and ask how many people on this forum alone has that sticker under their hood.

I have the sticker(in the correct place).......AND............as an added bonus, it gave me +5hp more!

That is the important part unless you want like 19 more pages of crap, just print it out.

Edited tonight as I see "cas2themoe" provided you the link! Good Job!

If he's at 57k, shouldn't he get it warrantied since the powertrain warranty got extended to 60k?

If he hasn't had the recall I think that they will do it if he presents the paperwork and doesn't try to force it down their throats. In answer to your question....to be honest........you'd think it would be, but I'm not sure.

My sticker is located on the wall of the door jam, drivers side.

Unfortunately, seems like majority of Mazda dealerships are half assed bastards when it comes to the 8, like the one NYC went to. I have said it many times, we can only really count on ourselves to maintain and make this car great. We get no love from Mazda, thats for damn sure. Like a friend of mine (initials CRH) recently stated, "mazda is only interested in putting band aids on the 8 long enough til the warranties expire". So true.
