Production Line Fixes?
 
I was curious to know if there were any further production line fixes beyond the first batches of FR-S's that hit the street. I know I had read somewhere that the condensation on the rear lights was corrected. Any other changes that have already made it to the production line?

Is this true?

Must be, as I don't have that issue. My car is built in April....
High pressure spray wash to the lights directly, no problem. :iono:

Tail light assemblies wouldn't be a production line issue as much as a supplier QC issue I'd think. Wouldn't be surprised if unusually hot weather was partially to blame on the new seals. Someone here had said the light assy supplier does a pressure check in their inspection. So, the seals are broken afterward.

This was a problem in the assembly line in which the tail lights were over torqued and broken, which allowed condensation to enter. This was corrected in the assembly line and is not a problem anymore. The pictures and paper release is buried in some thread on the forum.

Here is the link to the post with the info regarding the tail light fix. It was fixed starting May 9, 2012.

ECU was changed as well, see the DRL Customization thread. My car has a 5/21 date and has the old one.

Oh im sorry i misread and i thought you were talking about the condensation that forms on the rear windows above the third brake light. From what i hear thats standard with most coupes like this. I wonder if z's have that issue.

isnt there some sort of cam or crank timing thing thats causing a code or something? has that been sorted?

Crank/Cam sensor is still under investigation as it seems...

Tires on my FRS were all season Bridgestone rather than Michelin on earlier FRS / BRZ. Don't know if that would be considered a product fix, but tires were changed during production.

new gateway ECUs on newer cars

Those are supposed to be standard on lease vehicles.
