2006 Emissions-Related Recall Campaigns
Mfr. Recall Number- 4206F
EPA#- 2788
(Due to insufficient control of oil supply, the engine may suffer from the lack of engine oil under certain driving conditions. If the vehicle continues to be driven with such condition, the sealing
capability of combustion chamber may be degraded, causing drivability or emission problems. Due to wrong PCM calibration, carbon may deposit on spark plugs or plugs may be flooded
during engine start, causing difficult start condition. In addition, as a result of wrong service procedure when recovering from difficult start condition, the catalytic converter may be damaged
on some vehicles. Remedy: Mazda at no charge will reprogram the PCM for latest
calibration and inspect plus repair/replace if necessary: spark plugs, engine, and catalytic converter)
I've noticed when I bought my RX8 used at 71.000 miles it had high oil pressure ( about 3 tick marks to the right) which leads me to believe I would qualify for this recall. I drove from Camp Lejuene, NC to New Hampshire for Christmas ( approximately 950 miles one way) I change the oil before taking the trip and then returning from the trip as well as try to get a inspection done which it failed as soon after the engine flooded and got new spark plugs replaced the O2 senor and was told that I'd be needing a new catalytic converter as well, I'm also worried that I might have engine damage so I want to get a compression check. Lucky I found this recall on the EPA website hopefully is still valid. My RX8 has just surpassed 90,000 miles this week.
