Hmmm manufactured March 2008 to May 2011, for the US market. Fuel pump mounting rings. So, in UK terms R3s and possibly some 40ths ?
I suppose we just need to wait and see if we have to let the trained technicians loose on our precious babies again.

I have sent an email to Mazda UK to ask if this recall is under consideration for the UK. I thought it was worth asking the question.

I've had a response from Mazda UK to say there are no plans for any recall at this stage, but they are monitoring the "English speaking" market recall developments. I have asked if a decision is made to issue a recall that we would appreciate knowing before any letters hit doormats cold, out of the blue!
