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.

 

Gotcha!

 

hey, my car was there today

 

And get back to us on this, it might be good information to know!

 

I saw it! I knew it looked familiar. I was in heaven, surrounded by 7's

 

If your recall was never done that would be awesome to get a repaint on mazda

 

Sweet, deff find out about this. The only 7 that needs a paint recall worse than the '91 is the 10AE.

no ****, my 91 na (white) had BAD peeling paint. Got the AE and sure enough, 2 years later the hatch paint is peeling. I think it is a white paint problem.

 

Mine is white... HMMM!

 

Well, all AE's have peeling problems... Call the dealer about the recall, you don't even have to go there. Or just search the net.

 

Yes, PLEASE be a real recall.... I need one badly, and a good free paint job sounds very good to me.

 

I doubt they'd just give it to you free. Perhaps maybe SOME money. But I don't know, I just found out a few seconds ago!

 

Yeah, the white paint on my 91 tII is scared of my car. Just jumps off!

 

hello to avatar.

and for post context: Goodluck on the recall issue BTW.

 

is it only for the 91 FC?.. my white 89GTUs is also peeling in some areas.

 

From what I was told 91 was the problem.

 

Just found this... Doesn't say anything about paint. Lemme look some more

this is a 3rd gen page!

 

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.

 

i went to mazdausa.com and typed my vin number and it say
1989-1991 RX-7
Automatic Shoulder
Belt Modification
Campaign
Recall Date: 02/17/1997

should i go check it out?? what does campaign me ??

 

When I typed my VIN it said there were no recalls. My belts light is always going nuts. I need to goto a dealership and have them do it.

so did you call the dealer and ask about the paint 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.
