i did a search to no avail. ie, there wasnt a thread that started with the same topic.

is there a website or does someone have a summary of manufacturer recalls?

Resource brought up one to me the other day and I was curious as to how many others there were, if any.

 

You can go to the link and go to item 3.0

The more important ones are the fuel lines and the cooling fan relays. There are a few other little cosmetic ones. The Recalls are a little different from year to year. Just go to the mazda dealership in O'Fallon and tell them to run your VIN. They did mine, and did a great job!

thanks guys. i called my car in apparently it has had the coolant and fuel recalls done. i called the number below. the operator told me about another one regarding carbon fiber hoods that is not on this list.


3.1 Recalls

There have been three recall notices put out on the 3rd Generation RX-7s,
two pertaining to engine fires, and one concerning brake booster failure.
You will want to make sure that the car in question has had these recalls
done. If they have not been performed, you will want to take the car to a
Mazda dealership where they will be performed free of charge. If you don't
know whether the recalls have been applied to a car, you can call the Mazda
Customer Service line at (800) 222-5500 with the vehicle's VIN, and they
can tell you.

3.1.1 Coolant recall

The coolant recall involved the replacement of some cooling system parts
with stronger/more heat resistant materials and lowering the pressure of
the cooling system from 1.3 bar to .9 bar. The parts replaced were the
water pump seal, the water level sensor, the upper radiator hose, the
filler cap, the filler cap body, the thermostat gasket, the water hose
leading to the throttle body, and the water hose leading to the coolant
separator tank.

3.1.2 Fuel line recall

The fuel line recall involved replacing the fuel lines under the intake
manifold with lines made from a more heat resistant material, and adding
a fan control unit that runs the cooling fans if the coolant gets too
hot, even if the car is turned off.

3.1.3 Brake recall

The brake recall involves the replacement of a vacuum check valve and
hose leading to the brake booster. The original unit may stick when
oily and cold, preventing power assist under braking.

 

i vote for a sticky on this.

 

Good info. I checked mine and the brake recall has not been done yet.

 

yeah this is a good one for newbies.

 

But, if a FD already done for those recall. Did anyone DIY??
I think many people want to do it by themselves more than sent their baby to the dealer. I heard many unhappy experience from dealer's service.

 

dealers will still honor this recall?

 

I tried to call the San Francisco Mazda dealer and asked for brake recall. They said no recall for FD. So......I think I better do the recall by myself. Did anyone did the coolant recall and Fuel line recall by themselves. Are these recall come with package when I order coz I ordered the brake vaccum hose (They said its a package that come with both hose). So, I think those recall can order by package. Anyone try ??? Please post more.

 

Are these mostly for 93's or are they for 94 & 95's too?

 

I think all recalls (Brake vuccum hose recall, coolant recall, and fuel line recall) are for FD for 93-95. Any DIY can share to us?

 

I am interested in the components and part numbers involved in each. I was never even aware there was recalls on these cars. And I had my FD for a while. I'm working under0 the manifold right now, so would like to make sure I'm not ordering recalled components...if that is even how that works. Japan doesn't let you register any vehicles with an outstanding recall. Cheers.

 

the recalls were USA only, although the updated parts were eventually installed on the assembly line and are the only ones available now

 

That's good news. I was hoping that was the case, and it wasn't some new part number, etc. Thank you for the information.

 

nope, the newest one is from 1998 or so. if anyone needs it i can come up with the part numbers

 

20 year thread bump!

 

​​​​​​Yes, please! I can then update my pdf manual just in case. I was thinking about replacing everything with stronger equipment, such as braided lines with AN fittings. Or aftermarket regulators and dampers. But idk enough about their problems or how long it will last opposed to factory parts. So for now I'll stick with oem or oem+.

 

If you get AN fittings, aftermarket dampers, etc., it will be impossible to keep the ACV and vacuum tubes that go with it; it turns into a rabbit hole of things to do once you upgrade the fuel system.

I remember reading details about the fuel recall, and if I remember correctly, it was from the Fuel Pulsation Damper leaking. Also, forum members report that the injector grommets leak with age. That is what happened to my FD; I woke up one morning and had a puddle of raw fuel. I replaced the following and went the OEM route. I replaced all the parts in the list below, which fixed my problem. It's a tremendous job, so replacing everything while in that area is a good idea.

(4) NF01-13-ZG3 Lower Primary/Secondary Fuel Injector O-ring 6.00 x 4
(4) NF01-13-ZG4 Upper Primary/Secondary Fuel Injector O-ring 14.50 x 4
(2) NF01-13-257A Lower Secondary Fuel Injector Grommet 8.00 x 2
(2) N3A1-13-257 Lower Primary Fuel Injector Grommet 8.00 x 2
(2) N3A2-13-C61 Rx7 Primary Fuel Injector Diffuser 38.25 x 2
(2) N3A1-13-C60 Secondary Fuel Injector Diffuser 34.00 x 2
(1) N3A2-20-180 Rx7 Fuel Pulsation Damper 185.25
(1) N3A1-13-280 Fuel Pressure Regulator 189.25
(2) N3A1-13-250 Primary Fuel Injector 265.25 x 2
(2) N3A2-13-250 Secondary Fuel Injector 248.25 x 2
(1) N3A2-13-889A Fuel Main Hose 30.00+
(1) N3A1-13-421 Fuel Main Hose 30.00+
(4) 992831200 Hose Clamp 2.50+ x 4

If you decide to get the injectors, you don't need the new injector O rings because the new injector will already have them, so you don't need these parts, (4) NF01-13-ZG3 and (4) NF01-13-ZG4. The prices came from Atkins rotary, but they don't carry the hose clamps for the main fuel hose that connects the fuel rail through the rats nest piping. Also, I couldn't find the heat shielding for the fuel hoses, so I reused my old ones; the part number is N3A213889A. You don't need OEM for the fuel hoses and the foam heat shielding; you can use a generic brand from an auto parts store. I gave you part numbers anyways.

Warning!
I forgot to add, if you do replace the diffusers, which are brittle, there's a possibility that they will break trying to remove them and will send broken pieces down your lower intake manifold resting inside the irons. This happened to me, which required me to remove my stock turbos and fish the chips out with a borescope and a pick.

 

there were 4 recalls.
The Coolant Recall. from vin, 200001-302529 to replace the filler cap body thing. the original was plastic, N323-15-175 and was replaced with an aluminum part N3C1-15-175. after 1995 the filler cap is just part of the filler neck. it also came with a 0.9 bar radiator cap instead of the original 1.3 bar cap. this one was a bit weird as you had to replace those parts, but there was also a water pump kit, so if there was anything else wrong the car got a water pump and hoses and such. lots of these things had oil and water leaks even at low mileage. i think also the additional fan harness thing was installed. after 302529 these parts were installed at the factory.

the Fuel recall. for cars from 200001-400030. Mazda found that the hose between the primary and secondary N3A1-13-496 could leak and set the car on fire (only in the USA though). so the repair was to replace that hose with the current crimped on version N3D8-13-420. also they replaced all of the other fuel lines under the intake, and double clamped the pressure side. the kit for this was the fuel hoses, clamps, injector grommets, metal throttle body and upper intake gaskets. there was also another kit with all the throttle body coolant hoses and clamps. this recall caused all kinds of problems, its pretty invasive and at the time not many people knew how to work on these things. lots and lots of follow up problems, and turbos replaced and such

the Brake Hose Recall. Mazda found that the check valve for the brake booster would stick so the new brake hose set moves the check valve from the intake side to the booster side. it does tend to be noisy there, so there is a bulletin to add a little rubber spacer (F285-13-363) to the brake booster pipe. this was just all of the US cars.

and Fourth there was a recall on the Mazdaspeed hoods, which is really rare cause those were hard to get even if you had money

 

Omg thank you both. That's a good amount of info. I screenshot these posts. Very helpful. The recalls I found online, but they're vague on the parts replaced and their numbers. So cheers for this. I already sourced most of the parts, a lot from the sources creepen already cited. I am trying to avoid replacing injectors if possible, but the fpr and fpd will get replaced out of sheer distrust and peace of mind's sake. I'm terrified of dropping anything inside the irons... lol this isn't supposed to be so involved. I only took everything off to deal with notorious fuel smell. This really sucks to have to do outside of Japan. Everything costs more, takes longer, or no longer in stock here. I will avoid touching the diffusers. I already have to replace lines and the bloody injector connections, despite being ultra careful. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 

I'm glad I read your post because my car was double-clamped, and I thought the previous owner was paranoid, so I only installed one clamp on each side. SMH.

Interesting, I did not know about that; when I google the part number "F285-13-363" it gives me an upper radiator mount. I would like to see if my car has this installed. Do you have more details about it?

 

if the check valve makes too much noise (people used to complain about squeaks and rattles on these things) you can use that rubber isolator to space the brake booster line from the firewall, which helps.
that wasn't part of the recall, it was a separate bulletin

 

I just Tyrapped a small piece of rubber hose to that pipe to keep it from rattling against the firewall.
