I guess most of us were expecting this level of reliability from a Toyota product. The asteroid cometh. |

Are those threads collected somewhere? I've only read a few of them, but l will just go ahead and assume that none of those cars are just being driven to church on Sunday. As others have said, it's a risk you take beating the shit out of a first-year car.

Someone actually asked them in person and were told too many people were bending them, nothing to do with engine failures.

I went to my Subaru dealer today to verify the ECU calibration on my Feb. 2013 manufactured BRZ.
"ZA1JA01C" This is the latest calibration code as of today. This is the same calibration code as listed in the South African Toyota 86 Technical service bulletin. The one for the improved software to prevent the injector collar damage. |

Either way, it might help if every FR-S/BRZ owner, during their next service visit, would bring a copy of the Toyota S.A. TSB with them, show it to their service adviser, and ask them to confirm what's the current calibration code of their car's ECU, and if it's ZA1JA01C. And if it isn't, if they would be willing to reflash their ECU to ZA1JA01C(* for MT cars), under warranty. For reference: Last edited by jjaisli; 08-21-2013 at 09:01 AM. |

The Subaru dealer is happy to check and see if the ECU calibration code is the latest and if it isn't it will be updated.
