I love you.

When will the owners of MY '13, '14 and '15 get a similar letter about the shite Subaru head unit that is found in our cars? I can't believe they went to the trouble of installing a circa 1972 unit...

Forget it, manufacturers don't give a fuuuuuk about the radio once the car leaves the factory, the 17+ cars are getting fixes because the radio handles the backup camera and that's considered safety equipment.

Just wanted to mention I completely forgot about this thread because I haven't gotten any codes since I had this fix done. :D

There’s a new TSB for ‘17-20 BRZ, automatic transmission only. It’s an ECM update to prevent a false P0300 code setting and turning the check engine light on. TSB 11-193-19. It involves an ECM software update.

Subaru TSB 05-61-16 Suspension mounts
 

Manufacturer: Subaru of America, Inc.
Components: suspension mounts
Number: 05-61-16


I didn't see this TSB in here. I am having this problem of popping noise from the strut mount and searched the forum but did not see anything from subaru about it. There are several threads on suspension noise that point to the top mounts but no mention of a TSB.

I was very close to buying the parts and doing it myself based on the how-to's I've seen here for suspension and then stumbled upon the TSB.

Maybe I'm the only one over 60k still running the stock suspension....

@ichitaka05

I can't seem to find the proper link for the valve spring recall. Is that only limited to the 2013 engines or does it also include the 2014 to 2016 engines?

2013 only.

If you are at 60k you are out of warranty for the strut mounts, they are only covered under the 3/36. TSB's do not extend warranty coverage.

Not even all of the 13s. You need to check the VIN.

Thanks Opie

Thanks Tcoat. I was looking into probable issues with 2014-2016 motors as I am looking for a used one. And those that I am finding are from wreckers who more often than not has the motor already out of the car so I am unable to verify the VIN.

There are very few issues reported with the post 13 engines.
