A SHORT-CIRCUIT CAN RESULT IN ENGINE CONTROL MALFUNCTION AND/OR POOR SHIFT QUALITY. Consequence: THE MAIN FUSE MAY BLOW OUT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL AND INABILITY OF RESTART, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. Remedy: DEALERS WILL HAVE THE ENGINE HARNESS INSPECT AND ADD A PROTECTOR CLIP ON THE AFFECTED SECTION OF THE HARNESS. IF NECESSARY, THE HARNESS WILL BE REPAIRED. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON MAY 6, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MAZDA AT 1-800-222-5500. Notes: MAZDA RECALL NO. 5409D.

Replying to: roadburner (Apr 21, 2009 9:32 am) There was never a "sales hold" on the 2007 Speed3's. There was couple instances of a motor mount issue, but, I believe no vehicles were recalled and sales were not placed on hold.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Apr 22, 2009 11:43 am) Well, here's the Mazda Dealer Recall Notice. The last paragraph on page 1 states: The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act prohibits the delivery of any subject vehicle without performing the necessary repair for defects or failures. Failure to perform applicable recalls before delivery can result in extensive dealer fines and penalties from the Federal Government. Therefore, you must complete this recall for all affected vehicles in your inventory prior to delivery. (emphasis added)

| Although I really like the 2010 model, my gut is telling me to wait for the second model year (2011). The initial demand of the new body style will die down by then, too. I can soldier on in my 2006 MZ3 5-door for another year or so... | |

Replying to: roadburner (Apr 23, 2009 7:46 pm) None of the vehicles at my store were affected. I guess that's why we did not see a sales stoppage! |
