I have the email from Mazda directed at my Service Manager.
"Dear Mazda Dealer,
We regret to inform you that retail delivery of certain 2007 MAZDASPEED3 models in your inventory must immediately be suspended. Mazda Motor Corporation had decided to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall (#4607F) to replace the No. 4 engine mount bolt on certain 2007 MAZDASPEED3 vehicles produced from June 28, 2006 through May 19, 2007.
Certain MAZDASPEED3 vehicles, the No. 4 engine mount tightening bolt may loosen if a sudden/rapid acceleration is repeatedly performed. If the vehicle is continuously driven under such condition, the No. 4 engine mount bolt may loosen and fall out or break, allowing the transmission to be out of position. In extreme cases, the driveshaft may become detached. If this occurs the vehicle will immediately lose power, come to a stop and be inoperable.
Action Required:
Beginning today, July 2, 2007, certain 2007 MAZDASPEED3 vehicles produced from June 28, 2006 through May 19, 2007 in your inventory must be inspected and repaired prior to customer delivery. Delivering subject vehicles without performing the necessary inspection and/or repair is prohibited. Failure to perform applicable recalls before delivery can result in extensive dealer fines and penalties from the Federal Government
Subject Vehicles:
Model VIN Range Build Date Range
2007 MAZDASPEED3 JM1BK34**71 603266-768653 June 28, 2006 thru

*The asterisk symbol can be any letter or number
Please note that some vehicles within this VIN range have been repaired at the ports before being shipped to your dealership. Please refer to eMDCS Warranty Vehicle Inquiry to determine if a vehicle is subject to this recall.
Parts will start arriving at dealers with affected units in inventory on July 3, 2007. Repair procedures will be available on MS3 and the eMDCS on July 3 as well."
it goes on from there, but the only important section of the email is the recall campaign to address retailed vehicles will happen later in the month.
