Here I thought I was a pessimist - a curmudgeon. But 32 pages into this thread and with nearly 10K posts between you: you guys put me to shame.
God bless you guys. Thank you. I feel like an optimist. I think Mazda is taking appropriate action with the recall. If / when I get a recall for my 2018 I'll take it to them and accept the fix. If I have any concern I'll pop the valve cover off myself and take a look.
I'm also afraid Mazda is dealing with this problem from a cost benefit standpoint, to everyone's detriment. *
Not good by all appearances.
And whoever in Mazda Corporate he/she ignored the bad reputation from history and came up this idea of the FIRST 4-cylinder engine with cylinder deactivation for North American market should get fired! *
