The problem: On certain passenger vehicles, the no. 4 left side engine mount bolt may loosen if a sudden rapid acceleration is repeatedly performed.
The risk: If the vehicle is continuously driven under such condition, the no. 4 engine mount bolt may loosen and pull out or break, allowing the transmission to be out of position. In extreme cases, the drive shaft may become detached. If this occurs the vehicle will lose power and will come to a stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the no. 4 engine mount bolt with a modified one, and, if necessary, replace the no. 4 engine mount rubber and bracket with new ones free of charge. The recallbegan on july 13, 2007. Owners may contact mazda at 800-222-5500 .
