Question what were the recalls exactly??

i know that they had something to do with engine fires and brakes... that's not what i'm looking for here though. what did they actually do when i took my car in for the recalls? i never really got a straight answer from the dealer and didn't feel like sitting there arguing with them. all i really got out of it was a new ECU flash and something about the fuel lines... can ANYONE tell me what exactly was changed/replaced/done on the cars or at least where i can find that? i tried searching for recalls, but the list is rediculous cause everytime someone says something about a new car its in the thread. its hopeless.

the coolant recall got the following:

new radiator cap .9bar vs 1.3bar, metal radiator cap adaptor, and the 3 throttle body hoses.

if needed the car also got a waterpump, thermostat, upper and lower radiator hoses

the fuel recall got the following:

fuel hose kit; replaces all the fuel lines under the intake, with updated parts

brake recall:

new brake booster hoses, check valve moves from engine side hose to booster side hose

The 5th gear was only a TSB(there is quite afew of these)

"1993 RX-& - Vehicles with a VIN of JM1FD332*P0100001 through JM1FD332*P0210508
NOTE: The asterisk (*) in the VIN range can be any number (0 through 9) or "X".
DESCRIPTION
-----------
If grinding occurs when shifting to 5th gear, a 5th gear synchronizer ring,

damaged by mis-shifting, may be the cause. To correct this concern, the select

spindle has been modified to increase accuracy of the shift pattern."

I didn't see this in the link posted above so i'll share!

http://www.bridow.com/rx7/3rdgentsb.html

The above link list all/most of the TSB's for our cars.
