While driving there is a gas odor which causes the occupant to become sick . Also, it may cause a fire if there is a fuel leak.

Recall site shows 3 recalls for 93 mazda rx7. Engine cooling system recall says "manufactured from dec 1991 to jan 1994". My rx7 was manu feb 1992 and I feel should be included in this recall. Mazda however states that there is only 2 recalls on my car. This is my 2nd rx7. The first one I had was manufactured march 1992, one month after this current one. It was exact same car. It was recalled for all 3 showing in the recall database. So what do I do? Mazda says the cooling system is not a recall item for my car. I disagree. Please let me know if I'm writing to wrong place for what I need. Thanks.
