Received mailings today for two SSPs for the following turbocharged Mazdas:
2007-2009 CX-7
2007-2008 Mazdaspeed3
2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6
"Heavy White Exhaust Smoke Warranty Extension Program SSP 86"
Warranty coverage extended to 7 years or 70,000 miles
What is the problem?
Certain vehicles may exhibit heavy white smoke from the exhaust tail pipes after long idle periods or while driving at low speeds in heavy traffic. The smoke may be caused by engine oil leakage from the turbocharger entering the exhaust pipe. The warranty extension applies only to this condition.
This warranty extension does not apply if the problem is caused by poor vehicle maintenance (insufficient oil changes or using engine oil of viscosity lower than 5W-30).
What will Mazda do?
Dealer will install a ventilation kit or replace the turbocharger free of charge.
#2 Applies to:
2007-2010 CX-7
2007-2010 Mazdaspeed3
2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6
"Variable Valve Timing Noise and Timing Chain Noise Warranty Extension Program-SSP 87"
What is the problem?
On certain vehicles, a loud ticking noise may be exhibited from the VVT when the engine is first started at cold condition, due to a wear on the lock pin hole in the VVT rotor or breakage of the VVT case. After the engine warms up, some vehicles may exhibit a knocking/rattle type noise from the front timing cover and or valve cover at engine speeds below 2000 rpm, due to excessive stretching of the timing chain.
The warranty coverage for the specific repair is extended to 7 years from the original warranty start date or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The warranty extension does not apply if the problem is caused by poor vehicle maintenance (insufficient oil changes or using engine oil of viscosity lower than 5W-30).
What will Mazda do?
Your dealer will replace the VVT actuator, or both the VVT actuator and the timing chain free of charge...
