If you're smart/lucky this is all the dealer will ever do.

LIFETIME WARENTEE. Have Mazda's customer service # handy when you go to the dealership, they'll try to say it's not warenteed.

Wish I could say the same for the ******* Mazda deal in Orlando. Those bitches tried to charge me 480 for both motors. Right now, I'm driving around with broken motors. i'm just like the other guy, after I left, I just didn't have time to go to another Mazda dealership.

If the dealer gives you ANY flack, call them and say "this dealer is trying to charge me for a lifetime warentee on the seatbelts."

When I bought my FC, the lady I bought it from kept going on and on how she just spent 800 bucks on the seatbelt. I let her know about the recall, and she got her money back from her (shady) mechanic.
Your dealer HAS to take care of you.

Love mine, wouldn't remove them unless I add a 3 point racing harness.

I mock you all... s4 belts FTW!

No, just kidding, but seriously I hate track belts... maybe in a van but not a sports car...
