Description of the problem	I have a 2004 mazda rx8 with only 51,000 miles on the car. I recently, within the last month or two, noticed a squeaking noise coming from the pedal area. I thought i just need some lube or wd40 down there to stop the noise. This was not the case! Yesterday, while at a traffic light, i go to engage the clutch to put into first gear and take off, and i hear a pop. I couldn't go anywhere, i couldn't get the car in gear or move at all. Something had happened and i didn't know what. While in the middle of a huge intersection i am in a stationary position while cars are passing me. I was lucky enough to have someone stop and help me push the car down the street, where a local mazda dealership was. Mazda tech's take a look at it and tell me my clutch bracket is broke! I then proceeded to ask them to see it for myself because i couldn't believe a car with so little miles on it could have this happen. It was true, i saw for myself that it has snapped off and was not stable. Now i have to pay nearly 700 dollars to replace this faulty part! This is a huge safety matter for the mazda rx8 and this needs to be addressed by mazda and fixed immediately! I was lucky enough to be at a stand still while in the car and to find someone to help me off the road. This may not be the case for others if mazda does not fix this faulty part. I will be contacting mazda corp as well, but could please look into this situation and try to have mazda address this asap. Thank you!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
