I know on Saturday we have a crazy meet planned at 10am at the best buy mall parking lot and then heading up north for a cruise through the mountains, but sunday is pretty open right now. You should go to the saturday cruise if you can. Should be about 25 cars that have signed up so far.

I'm pretty sure it's the back mount. Most the claims are for the back mount while maybe 2 people have had issues with the side if i have it correct.

It's the side mount, the one that fails and lets the motor fall out of place while your driving. What I'm wondering is are people that have had the mount fail and had it fixed still going to have to have the recall done, or did they fix it right when it was replaced when it broke?

SO shall i call my Mazda dealer for them to upgrade my motor mount tomorrow or not ?Saying its a recall from Mazda.

Just wait for the letter from Mazda. If I'm not mistaken thats how car company's notify owners when there's a recall on a vehicle.

Yeah - I was looking into those CAI's the MazdaSpeed is the best huh?
Also I was told by another MS3 owner to replace the rear motor mount, he put in one from *************** and said it made a big difference as far as the smoothness of the engine. It cost $115

Web:

I'd wait until you have Werner check your motor mount before adding in the aftermarket mount.

Does anyone know if these mounts will be replaced on MazdaSPEED3's that are sitting in a dealer's inventory and haven't been sold yet? I am serioulsy going to be buying one of these cars this month (end of July'07) and don't want to have to take the car in on my own time.

I am guessing that this TSB (technical service bulletin) went out to all approved SPEED3 dealerships. Any insight? I will obviously be asking the dealership when I go to purchase at the end of the month. Thanks

This is not a TSB, it is a Voluntary recall which brings alot of liability issues with it. One being that the dealers MUST make these changes before any effected cars can be delivered from their inventories.
If they dont comply they are in a really bad spot.

Look under the hood and according to the directions there is a sticker that goes on the under side to indicate it has been updated with the new hardware.

I have an appt this Sat AM for both my friend and I to have ours updated. I called to be sure they had the stuff before I got the letter so I can beat the crowd and get this fixed ASAP.

Read the general topic thread there is a sticky that tells all about the directions and one step is this sticker under the hood and that all cars are to be updated at the port before making it to the dealer.
