My NB MX5 has that issue.Very difficult filter location, and a splash-guard directly underneath which is very hard to reach. Perhaps there's a bit more to this recall than stated, as it does seem rather over-fussy.

Whilst it perhaps is quite minor, manufacturers dont just recall vehicles becasue a couple of people had an issue

I assure you if they recalled every vehicle that had a 1 of fault or possible incident there would be nothing on the roads. There will be many multiple incidents before the manufacturer gets involved and investigates at which point they will put together a CRP or recall as needed

Believe what you will, i have a pretty good idea how the system works i work for a manufacturer

Hmmm.Takes a hell of a lot of heat to get a bit of spilled engine oil to ignite.The splash guards are normally plastic, so they'd be a melted mess which has dripped on the road long before any oil sitting on them had ignited.I'm just guessing that there's some other related issue that they'll fix, but they're not being 100% straight up on the issue.

Yep,The NZ one is a precautionary one as the US one was for cars made there. Pity the headline didn't actually say that.

NO reported fires. I bet its like subies with leaking rocker cover gaskets. Not fire as suck just a cloud of smoke from the engine bay -not a good look for them
