September Recall from Mazda

Post by ChrisHPZ »

While checking online today with the DVLA for my MOT end date I noticed that my car shows and outstanding recall dated today’s date (8th Sept).

Anyone got any ideas what this is for, plan to call Mazda Monday to find.

The date is just when the database was checked, e.g. today.

The recalls is, almost certainly, the fuel tank, as per all this discussion since February

Ah ok.. don’t recall seeing it before I got the car unless I was being blind!

I’ll give them a call on Monday and see what the crack is.

Well yeh, but having emailed my enquiry to my local dealer twice with no response I guess they don't really want to do the work so who do you then trust?

Unfortunately you are at the mercy of a Mazda dealer as only their "Qualified Technicians" :rofl: have the expertise to give you your car back in a worst state than when it went in to repair your car to the acceptable standard! 8-[

Its the first recall for airbag I have had in the year I have owned the car.

Mazda techs would still probably tell you they had done it. :D
Now a distant memory unfortunately.

I had a Mazda Service document for my 8 (previous owner) that shows that Romford Mazda checked the power steering fluid level and the cam belt tension. [-X

They also charged nearly £300 for supply and fitting new spark plugs, which was also a lie. :^o

I would love to know how many owners of all makes have paid for a plug change that was never carried out - I have come across 3 examples (2 Fords & 1 Vauxhall) that had never had the plugs changed that were paid for.

My RX-8 had to have the air con` filter and Diff` oil changed they were not done - the service managers excuse " Their parts man hadn`t supplied their wait for it "Master Technician" with the parts so their "Master Technician" didn`t do it.
The service receptionist managed to charge me OK though!

Mine took less than a day for them to do the replacement suspension arms, Fuel tank and airbag replacement.
Can't tell if the fuel tank or airbag was done, but I can see the new lower arms :)

Anyone know the exact problems?

Had another letter about mine... No idea which ones for mins as was off the road a while before I owned it. It creates enough problems for itself without Mazda "helping"
