EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: MAZDA SPEED RESINOUS HOODS, DESIGNED AND SOLD AS ACCESSORY PARTS FOR MODEL YEAR 1992-1995 RX7 VEHICLES, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JUNE 1, 1997, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 19, 2000. Remedy: MAZDA WILL NOTIFY THE RX7 VEHICLE CUSTOMERS TO BRING THEIR VEHICLE TO A MAZDA DEALER TO HAVE THE HOOD STRIKER REPLACED WITH A MODIFIED ONE.
THE RADIATOR CAP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE RELEASE PRESSURE IS SET TOO HIGH. THIS CAN CAUSE THE COOLANT TO REACH TEMPERATURES THAT EXCEED THE THERMAL DESIGN LIMITS OF SOME COMPONENTS OF THE COOLANT SYSTEM. SHOULD THIS OCCUR, ENGINE COOLANT CAN LEAK COLLECT ON TOP OF THE ENGINE. Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES AND IF ANY VEHICLE EXHIBITS COOLANT LEAKAGE OR IF THE COOLANT LEVEL HAS DROPPED TO THE POINT WHERE THE COOLANT LOSS WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO TRIGGER THE COOLANT LEVEL WARNING SYSTEM, COMPONENTS POTENTIALLY SUBJECT TO DETERIORATION FROM OVERHEATING WOULD BE REPLACED. THESE PARTS INCLUDE THE WATER PUMP BEARING HOUSING, THE WATER LEVEL SENSOR AND RADIATOR UPPER HOSE, THE THERMOSTAT GASKET, AND ALL WATER HOSES LOCATED ABOVE THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, ALL VEHICLES IN WHICH THOSE COMPONENTS ARE REPLACED WOULD ALSO HAVE THE COOLING SYSTEM AND OTHER SYSTEMS THAT CARRY FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS CHECKED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT ENGINE OVERHEATING HAD NOT CAUSED ANY PROBLEMS IN THOSE SYSTEMS. ANY IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS WILL BE REPAIRED. THE RADIATOR CAP, FILLER CAP, AND FILLER CAP BODY OF ALL RECALLED VEHICLES WILL BE REPLACED BY NEWLY DESIGNED PARTS.
OIL MIST CONTAINED IN THE ENGINE INTAKE AIR CAN COLLECT OVER TIME IN THE BRAKE VACUUM CHECK VALVE PREVENTING THE CHECK VALVE FROM OPENING AT THE SPECIFIED PRESSURE REDUCING POWER ASSIST TO THE BRAKES. Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE TWO VACUUM HOSES, INCLUDING THE CHECK VALVE, WITH MODIFIED HOSES.
RESIDUAL ENGINE HEAT CAN CAUSE PREMATURE DETERIORATION OF THE FUEL HOSE CAUSING THE HOSE TO LEAK. ALSO, REMOVING AND REINSTALLING THE DETERIORATED FUEL HOSES INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF A LEAK. Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL CONTROL UNIT FOR THE ELECTRIC COOLING FAN. THE FAN WILL THEN ACTIVATE AFTER THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF WHEN THE COOLANT EXCEEDS A SPECIFIED TEMPERATURE. THE FUEL HOSES WILL ALSO BE REPLACED WITH REVISED HOSES.

OIL MIST CONTAINED IN THE ENGINE INTAKE AIR MAY COLLECT OVER TIME IN THE BRAKE VACUUM CHECK VALVE, PREVENTING THE CHECK VALVE FROM OPENING AT THE SPECIFIED PRESSURE. THIS COULD RESULT IN DIMINISHED BRAKE PERFORMANCE ON THE FIRST TO THIRD ATTEMPTS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS LEFT PARKED OVERNIGHT, AND RESTARTED IN THE MORNING. CORRECTION: THE TWO VACUUM HOSES WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
RESIDUAL ENGINE HEAT AFTER THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF MAY CAUSE PREMATURE DETERIORATION OF FUEL HOSE ELASTICITY. THIS MAY LEAD TO A REDUCTION IN THE SEATING PERFORMANCE OF THE FUEL HOSES. IN ADDITION, REMOVING AND REINSTALLING THE DETERIORATED FUEL HOSES MAY CAUSE FUEL SEEPAGE WHICH COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. CORRECTION: FUEL HOSES WILL BE REPLACED WITH MODIFIED HOSES.
THE PRESSURE AT WHICH THE RADIATOR CAP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE RELEASES THE BUILD UP OF COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE IS SET TOO HIGH. THIS CAN RESULT IN EXCESSIVE COOLANT TEMPERATURE AND COOLING SYSTEM LEAKS. LEAKING COOLANT MIXTURE CAN COLLECT ON THE TOP OF THE ENGINE, WHERE SOME OF THE WATER CAN EVAPORATE, INCREASING THE CONCENTRATION OF THE COOLANT. IF THE COOLANT THEN LEAKS ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, AN ENGINE FIRE CAN RESULT. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND THE RADIATOR CAP AND THE FILLER CAP BODY WILL BE REPLACED. VEHICLES EXHIBITING LEAKAGE SUFFICIENT TO TRIGGER THE COOLANT LEVEL WARNING SYSTEM WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS REPLACED: WATER PUMP BEARING HOUSING, WATER LEVEL SENSOR AND UPPER RADIATOR HOSE, THERMOSTAT GASKET, AND ALL WATER HOSES LOCATED ABOVE THE ENGINE.
