Fourth recall?

[dparm1984]

I just picked up my 07 MS3 GT this past weekend. 15,000 miles but unfortunately the previous owner never had any oil changes or service done at the dealer.

They also never had any of the recalls done. The service manager ran my VIN and said it needed to have four recalls done: motor mount, driver's rubber floormat "inventory reworking", voluntary emissions recall, and something else.

What is the fourth recall?


I'm kinda annoyed that the previous owner never had any of this done, as I have absolutely no clue when the last oil change even was. I'm having that remedied this Friday as well, but I'm a sad panda since they're keeping the car for most of the day to get this all straightened out.

Also have to get a second key cut since the dealer I got the car from said they only had the one + remote.

They said the only thing on the service record was something called "inlet manifold", but he still claimed it had the 4th recall.

What are the specifics of that control valve recall? Mazda's website doesn't mention it (though they have the other 3).

Sarcasm???

Sorry, I'm new to this car.

Nevermind, found the control valve one. It is listed as a TSB/voluntary recall, not a mandatory safety recall.

As long as you are having a new key cut, it will need a programmed chip also, you probably should have the whole thing reprogrammed so the original "missing" key cannot be used to start you car.

Yeah good call...kinda pisses me off that the previous owner just didn't return the key, and the dealer said "mehh, oh well."
