Okay, I get people don't like JB for some of his music and some things he did, but what's wrong with Avril? Complicated is a pretty good song IMO and I still listen to it.

And even in JB's case, it's still excusable. Kid stars who gain fame, get confused with it and do stupid crap without any guidance is not news. Blame the parents if anything.

Maybe the later years use a different part or something? Or the 2010 and 2011 models will be recalled in a year or so?

Is there an easy way to look up whether your car has already had the recall done (vs whether parts are available)?

Punch in your VIN and it should show you if your recall is done.

Or call a dealer and tell them your VIN.

I just got a letter to take my 2011 for the recall, apparently it was issued back in October:

British car in Morocco

So I have been trying to get Mazda to repair my car under the safety recall (2007 RX8) for over two years. Finally this month they began dialog after I emailed the CEO. I provided Mazda North Africa contact details from their own website as they were refusing the recall string it would have. I warranty as it was not bought in Morocco.

Mazda refuse to confirm if this is a no drive recall, and I have requested this as it’s about 40 degrees here and now told them i hold them responsible for any injury or loss unless they confirm this.

Mazda UK have contacted Mazda Casablanca and agreed my car can go for the refit when and appointment is made. They confirmed the parts are the same despite being RHD.

However my issue is that now Mazda Casablanca are airing my calls. I don’t speak Arabic, it’s too far to drive on the off chance and now typically the flaming car has started getting really hot at the back end ( you can feel the heat when exiting the car doors) and I have a rubbing sound from rear passenger side tire with no obvious friction on the outside.

There are no warning lights on for break sensors so I’m a bit lost at what to do - any advise much appreciated
