Whats Wrong? Under certain conditions (rapid acceleration/racing starts) the No. 4 engine mount securing bolt may loosen. If the vehicle is driven when this concern is present, the No. 4 engine mount securing bolt may come out or break, allowing the engine and transmission assembly to drop down.

This is currently the second recall for the Mazda3 MPS.

    Z, if you click the words “second recall” it will take you to the page. :P

    It’s an Engine Mounting Point Recall. Just contact Mazda, I think they most likely just replace a few parts, nothing major, nothing to be worried about.

    First recal was engine mount rubber for Mount Number 4, now it’s Engine mount bolt for Number for, I think there is a good chance of engine bracing being introduced into this car before long…..
