2007 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, the no. 4 left side engine mount bolt may loosen if a sudden rapid acceleration is repeatedly performed.
💥 The risk
If the vehicle is continuously driven under such condition, the no. 4 engine mount bolt may loosen and pull out or break, allowing the transmission to be out of position. In extreme cases, the drive shaft may become detached. If this occurs the vehicle will lose power and will come to a stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the no. 4 engine mount bolt with a modified one, and, if necessary, replace the no. 4 engine mount rubber and bracket with new ones free of charge. The recallbegan on july 13, 2007. Owners may contact mazda at 800-222-5500 .
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
