1 Front Suspension Control Arm problem of the 2010 Mazda RX8

Failure Date: 06/25/2020

There is already a prior recall on lower control arms for earlier made Mazda RX-8 s. Why are the later models also not included? is it because the model I have there were not as many made, so not as many left on the road? you can hear a dull pop when turning the corner time. Family member is a mechanic, he advised what this was, and to check for recall . . . Well there is one, just for 2004-2008 models, why doesn't the recall include 2009 & 2010 also?.

2 Front Suspension Control Arm problem of the 2004 Mazda RX8

Failure Date: 09/15/2016

On September 15th, 2016 I had stopped to vacuum out my car at a car wash on highway 11 in attalla, al. Upon leaving the car wash I turned left onto pleasant valley rd at a slow speed in first gear. As I was turning I shifted into second gear I hear a breaking noise and the steering wheel abruptly spun to the left as the car went in a deep ditch flipping onto its roof, then hitting a small culvert and landing on it's side. As I was inspecting the vehicle to see what might have happened, the passenger lower control had broken and the ball joint had separated from the control arm.
