I got a recall notice in the mail today!
It\'s regarding the possible crack in the air bag sensor.
Did anyone else get this?

I didn\'t get the recall notice but my crash sensor was replaced by Avante free of charge - they told me there was a recall last time I was in. Great service btw!
Recall for what?
Mazda3 SOLD. Bye Bye XeBa

err.... that was my evil twin.... Zenon.... ya....
Shut up.
I got my letter yesterday
Got mine too. It looks like it\'s just an inspection. Regardless, I have an appointment next Wednesday @ Avante.
I first heard about this here. I have been wondering if letters would be sent to everyone, as I haven’t received anything. Does it state how long they would honor the recall? I ask because I wonder if mine doesn’t fail within the warranty period, would they still treat this as a recall 3 years from now?

<thumbsup> thanks bluntman </thumbsup>
Maybe I should change my name to \"Searchman\"
Not all cars are effected by this recall, even if their VIN is in that range. That\'s why Mazda put \"inspect\" the sensor, as not all sensors need to be exchanged but they need to cover their ass in case something does happen down the road. I would think that if your car\'s airbag light hasn\'t come on yet, then there\'s a really good chance there\'s nothing wrong with your sensor as this VIN range is for cars almost 1 year old.
From my understanding, they have to honor the recall forever. Recalls don\'t have expiry dates.Does it state how long they would honor the recall?
haha i just got the notice to, my friend as well. grrrrrr.
I still got no notices. Maybe Monday? if it does come....
i just had my 24K service too... that means I gotta drive all the way back for another inspection? Darn it.... :p

in his computer when he was booking my appt.
He told me they replace it anyways, wether it needs to or not.
Mine was replaced while in for an oil change.
Sweet.:p
I donno if mine was replaced.... I my VIN wasn\'t a part of the affected recalls anyways.
If your sensor was cracked it would have thrown a CEL at you.
They overtorqued the sensor during assembly of the early models. That problem has been corrected.
