There weren't any recalls. Perhaps you mean Service Bulletins?

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 whenoily and cold, preventing power assist under braking.
Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) are bulletins issued to dealerships by the manufacturer, detailing a fix for a known (usually because they're commonly encountered) non-life threatening problem with a car. I'm not going to list all the TSBs here, but you can read more on them at the links below...
