so the tail light condensation and body panel fitment issues are said to have been adressed on the assembly line, when will we see the cars that were assembled post fix start hitting the dealer lots?

chances are, you already ARE seeing those cars. Have you heard of anyone else report that problem on the forum since it was addressed? I doubt it.

the manufacture date on the door sticker will be the true indicator. if someone who recently bought theres could check it would be cool to see the manufacture date.

My taillights have been through tons of rain, haven't had any puddles or condensation in them *knocks on wood*. Body panels line up just fine.

Mine in #3690, made in 5/12

Good info Amit!

The countermeasure combination lamp(s) were incorporated into production on May 9, 2012 starting with VIN # 601678

Now, is that just for the BRZ? Or would that include FR-S VIN #'s you think?

Door jam. I think it's the yellow sticker, can't remember though.

Month and year will be stamped on the door jam where the VIN is. Specific date...hmm not sure. I figure certain parts may be labeled, perhaps someone else can give a better answer.

My car was made 03/12...bring on the TSB's!

No problem Joe. It is for the BRZ only as I know the VIN's are separate for the two cars. I'm not so sure how we could correlate the two vins. Unless you figure there's 70% toyota's, 30% Subaru's and multiply the Subaru vin by 1.7

But then you need to factor for # of Toyota's vs # of Scion's...

Oh well, knowing it is May 9th is good enough for me. Mine was more than likely made towards the end of May, seeing as how I got it June 30th.

I guess that depends. Maybe there is a car that someone ordered but chose to back out.
