The 1986 Mazda RX-7 has 2 recalls, the more serious being a brake issue where road salt builds up in the front brake calipers, causing the brake pads to stick and significantly increasing stopping distances.
The second recall is a compliance issue: the evaporative emissions purge hose was routed incorrectly during assembly, meaning the vehicle does not meet Canadian emissions standards for fuel vapor control.
