Default Loose Bolts under the Mazdaspeed3

im reading in a different forum that two bolts that secure the engine get loose overtime. the mazdaspeed3's in australia are being recalled due to this. when the two bolts get loose the engine and transmission assembly is at risk of falling out. anyone here had this problem? i think some1 put up a thread bout this already but i just wanna be sure....

There is a recall on the #4 engine mount. I asked the tech and he said none of the ones he inspected and corrected had any problems. One was close, but it was used for auto cross and was driven much harder than the average Speed 3.

it happened to this guy i met at a car meet. he said his engine and tranny fell right out while he was driving. the dealership replaced both parts plus threw in lowering springs for the trouble. id rather not go thru all that just for lowering springs, lol. so wats the best option? just go to the dealership and tell them to take a look? i realize i sound very oblivious bout all this but this is all new to me. thanks again.
