This is a direct copy and paste from Mazda's service information site, the ENTIRE recall history for Mazda, regardless of model.

And yeah, I've read the detailed information on each. None of them were an engine recall.

The only 2 involving the engine:
4206F - 2004-2006 RX-8 Reprogram PCM - Voluntary Emission Recall:

Quote:

Mazda Motor Corporation has decided to conduct an Emission Recall Campaign to reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and replace the spark plugs on certain 2004-2006 RX-8 vehicles produced from April 10, 2003 through June 1, 2006. If you are a recipient of this notice, your vehicle is included in this recall.
What is the problem?
Due to PCM software calibration issues, the following conditions may result:
i) The oil-injection metering system may be inaccurate causing poor engine sealing of the combustion chambers resulting in drivability or emissions problems.
ii) Too much fuel may be injected at the time of engine start causing carbon to be deposited on spark plugs or plugs may be flooded, causing a difficult start condition. In addition, the catalytic converter may be degraded on some vehicles.
iii) (Only 2006 RX-8 vehicles are affected.) A test value indicating engine coolant temperature may be incorrectly shown on the service tool when a diagnostic function test is performed at dealership.

3305G - 2004-2005 RX-8 Thermal Damage Recall

Quote:

Mazda Motor Corporation has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists
in certain 2004-2005 RX-8 vehicles produced from April 10, 2003 through July 7, 2005.
If you are a recipient of this notice, your vehicle is included in this campaign.
What is the problem?
On certain 2004-2005 RX-8 vehicles, if a RX-8 is parked and the engine is operated at high
RPMs, excessive heat build-up may affect oxygen sensors, the neutral switch and back up
lights causing MIL illumination, and exhaust emission and drivability will be adversely affected.
It may also lead to problems with the parking brake cable tube causing loss of parking brake
function, malfunctions of the gas gauge and possible damage to the fuel tank causing fuel
leaks. Fuel leakage in sufficient quantity in the presence of an ignition source could potentially
result in a vehicle fire.
