This is generally good information but you may look next time at the year and engine type.

 

These are both Ambulance chasers. I doubt based on my learned and research about Class action suits and cases like these relating to the auto manufactures in this thread it will ever happen let alone be victorious to even see a settlement. They advertise in hopes of generating enough interest and in the end, it takes months sometimes years to get any reimbursement and it is in most cases so small you wonder why you participated. However, they Law firm when they do get a settlement makes the true money. LOL

I suggest instead of posting this information to first do some background research and learn the ins and out of class action suits.

slang term:
Urban Dictionary: ambulance chaser

 

What are you trying to say? What year...what engine?

 

Hi guys,

I have exactly the same problem, I am in Melbourne, here below is the diagnostic check from the dealer:

Carried out diagnostic check over vehicle,
Scanned for codes,
Found P111a coolant over temperature to be present & P0401 EGR a flow
insuffiecient.
Carried out visual inspection with cooling system under pressure,
Found leak from coolant bypass.
Carried out TK test,
Failed test.
Removed and tested thermostat,
Confirmed working correctly.
Removed and tested EGR cooler,
Found bubbles to be escaping when pressure testing, failed test.
Pressure tested radiator cap,
Failed test.
Sent radiator out for testing,
Found radiator to be leaking.
Checked over cooling fan ground points,
Confirmed all ok.
Carried-out leakdown & compression test.
Requires replacement of cylinder head & gaskets, radiator, EGR cooler,
radiator cap & coolant bypass.

Now I am wondering if they should grant me warrant and replace a new engine for me? The dealer told me they tried to contact Mazda but they declined the request of the warrant, the odometer is 160,000KM+ only. What can I do now?

 

Hi, can you please shoot me the recall notice so that I can go to the dealer? Thanks

 

Well first if you purchased the car from any dealer this would have been easy to get otherwise, you can go to any Mazda dealership and request it, (look for your VIN service info while there) MAZDA USA , MAZDA Corp if outside the USA or better,
NHTSA and enter you VIN

The problem is going to be the miles on your engine. If you or the previous owner(s) never had the issue or had a issue and never got it entered on the VIN at a dealership you are looking for a steep uphill battle to get it covered under the warranty. Just saying!

Good luck

 

A good thorough and systematic diagnosis. It looks like your engine has failed, sorry. To me the one check that stands out is the failed rad cap. This could have resulted in the overheating that caused your engine to fail. A cheap, easily replaceable part that may have led to a huge cost.

 

A failed radiator cap on a Skyactiv engine would have cause fluctuation in the normal coolant temperatures resulting in the ECU to generate a DTC(s) LONG BEFORE any engine damage could have occurred. Also had the check engine light been ignored the RED engine light would have been generated by the ECU and more than likely the ECU would have adjusted the engine to go into "LIMP" mode to help protect it? Neither was indicated occurred by the OP.

 

Thanks for the reply, I just want to confirm if there is any recall for this issue, anywhere in the world, so that I can convince this is the manufacturer's fault, no the users'.

 

Do I have to replace the whole engine? It is not a cheap job to me.
