It happens, FIAT had to do one on RAMs they couldn't effectively repair after a recall.

I'm wondering if the inability to offer the advertised specs with a repair will make them fall into that category. Mazda is having a hell of a time getting a diesel 3 into the US- the North American CEO summed is up as "The diesel engine still doesn't have the performance Mazda wants, Jim O'Sullivan--the company's North American CEO--told industry trade journal Ward's Auto at the recent Chicago Auto Show. As he said back in December, O'Sullivan claimed the Skyactiv-D engine meets all of the necessary emissions regulations, but doesn't provide enough sportiness to match the brand's "Zoom-Zoom" image." (that seems like a good comparison to a Jetta in terms of price and performance) so I wonder if a fix is even feasible.  http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1096944_mazda-diesel-still-on-tap-but-performance-must-be-suitable-exec-says
