That's ridiculous, are they trying to have to fix DI seal issues more?

They directly denied any "DI seals" issue and said they had not seen any cases of a repairs for the seals.

They will update for idle/stall issues which will update through the DI timing retardation update.

The most recent ROM they would install is ZA1JAOOC.

I do not believe that ROM has the transient retard fix in it.
I would just look, but I dont have a RR def file to use to examine it.

I wonder if that is dealer specific. I'll check on a couple local Subaru dealers here to see what they say. Maybe it's just your specific dealership.

With an EcuTek license, cable, and software, you could flash an updated ROM onto your car yourself, or have the new ROM base included with a tune.

You are correct, the transient knock issue correction was included in the A01 ROMs.

i called the toyota dealer i bought the car from and they said there are no "recalls" on my production date which i find to be some bs. i bought my car october 2012. im thinking of driving over to the dealer today and asking them in person or is that a waste of my time? i track the car and auto x it so im concerned. could i go to a Subaru dealer to have the same thing done or would they deny me because its not a "Subaru" ?

There is a big difference between Recall and TSB.

I understand that. But if it could cause di seals to blow then youd think they wpuld let their customers.

My point is that you need to site a reason for the replacement to get a TSB. A recall is mandatory. In all reality, that ignition retard fix is to cut down on the heat that attacks the DI seals when shifting from/to specific RPMs. They sent the car out from the factory with an incomplete table which is just stupid.

Check the TSBs here:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21868

There is a TSB for both the FRS and BRZ for the idle stability/idle drop issue.
FRS: TSB: S-SB-0040-13
BRZ: TSB: 11-136-14

Both TSBs will get you flashed with the latest B01 ROM.

The one posted above is the one you want. There isn't one for the DI seals, but they did fix the tune with newer revisions and the idle drop is how people have gotten the new calibration flashed.

I work at a Subie dealer and if any(not a certain prod date range) 2013 BRZs come in and they mention/need the reflash we install ZA1JB01C/D (depending on MT/AT).
