1991 Paint recall?
My car is a '91 and the paint is flaking off in many places. I was at smoking joe racing today ( www.smokingjoeracing.net ) and Joe mention in 1991 there was a recall because the paint flaked. Has anyone else heard of this?

Call mazda and they can tell you what recalls there have been. Then give them your VIN # and they can tell you what of those recalls have been perfomed on your car.

Oops yeah just realized...
On another note I went to mazdausa.com and entered my VIN for recalls and it said there are NO recalls. I know at least there is the seat belt one.
Maybe the site only checks for recalls on current models...

I tried to sigh up at the Mazdausa site. Nada, could not do so. Sent them an email asking how ***? Got a reply the same day to their credit. Old models are excluded, only models 10 years or newer as I recall.

sorry to disapoint all of you but anyone with a flake white paint job will either need to lawyer up (not worth the expense) or your just SOL. Mazda is not going to repaint a bunch of 15 year old cars for nada, especially not for 5th 6th or 7th owners.
