Clutch Pedal SNAP OFF 8 Year Warranty-Recall ~~~
I have been providing the C pedal for a while and they are still in need of help. Brice and I have nothing to worry about as far as the viability of our products and services in this regard goes.
All Mazda hadda do was contact those of us who KNOW what is going on with these things. They already call us at BHR about the damned engines, few cryin' out loud, and we all know they have people scour the forums LOOKING for people whose warranties they can flag as "void".
What is so difficult for them on this one, I do not know except for the fact that their vendors have guaranteed volumes to which Mazda is beholden.

weakened pedal can damge your transmission over time
I definitely do not agree with that one, unless you are a complete klutz of a owner/driver to let it "damage your transmission over time".
BTW: I have had a "squeak" from my clutch pedal from about day 30 of ownership...every now and then.

Reimbursement from Mazda NA?
Has anyone received their checks yet? Does it cover the full amount paid for parts and labor or just parts only? Unfortunately I'm working with Mazda Puerto Rico who is saying that they will only reimburse for parts and not labor. WTF over?

Ace, we just got our letters probably within the last 2 weeks. It states reimburstments take 6-8 weeks to process. More a less, the first check(s) would be right around xmas.
Check back in during the week of the 20th of Dec.

Just like what VW did in my tale of the fuel pump fuse block. They did the recall, and did not charge for the damage I did to other parts with my own repair.
But isn't welding supposed to be a permanent fix? If so, you should be OK. You won't have the satisfaction of seeing it cost Mazda, but you also won't have the ordeal of it breaking some rainy night on a dark road 20 miles from the nearest phone and 200 miles from the nearest dealer.

Has anyone received reimbursement from Mazda on this yet?
It's been about 2 months now since I've sent it my receipts and service bill for replacing the clutch pedal and I'm hoping to see a check from Mazda this coming week or the following week.

My apologies, on double-checking I haven't received it yet after all. I did receive a reinbursement for the towing almost right away, and was remembering that...

I got my reimbursement. $114, the price of the bracket. No money to install it and nothing for the damage to the master cylinder rod. I called and apparently the part is supposed to install itself. NEVER buying another mazda and will tell everyone how they endanger your life and tell you to go F yourself.

Gave Mazda a call and was told they've processed my claim, and that I should be getting my check either this week or next week. I submitted my claim about a week after they sent out the notice. You guys should be getting yours any day now if you sent yours in right away.
