I printed out the page you refered to in the link, took that to the service dealer. They took one look at it, and said, "Huh, first we've ever heard about it." I asked them to look it up on their system, but to no avail. I've come to learn that if they don't have it on their system, they can't anything about it, no matter what kind of information you would bring to them. They simply don't have anything they can charge their work to.

the site says that a recall will be issued sometime in August...
and the dealers will replace it hassle free.

Yep it looks true. I work for an invetsment company in San Diego and I checked any market updates on Mazda's stock and there it was. The recall sent by Mazda headquarters. oh well.

August is not over yet, you have three more weeks for your letter to arrive. Letting a dealer do recall work before you get the letter is asking for problems.

buy reading should we be contacting them? or just keep waiting it out for the letters? *quote* Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPAIR THESE VEHICLES. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING AUGUST 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MAZDA AT 1-800-222-5500.

I think we should contact our local dealers, give them our VIN's and ask them if there are any new recalls on the vehicle. if they say no, then we should mention the sites.

I'm gonna call them tomorrow and see whats up.

I just took my car down to the dealership for a check engine light. they said that the recall has been issued, but they do not know how to solve the problem yet. so they will contact us the info is provided to them.
