Mazda recalled all 2004-2008 RX8 models for fuel pump and lockring gasket assembly leakage. My 2009 RX8 has the same issue and starting leaking gas on 1-02-2020 while parked in a garage. I called Mazda and was told there were no recalls; however my car has the same problem the 2004-2008 models had. Now I have to pay close to $1,000 for repair that should be covered under the recall.

While driving I noticed a fuel smell coming through my vents. After checking around the engine compartment I saw fuel pooling on the engine passenger side. I'm unaware at the moment of the cause add I am taking it to be checked at the dealer tomorrow.
