I got a letter by scion
 
It says that quote' "Certain Early 2013 Model Year Scion FR-S Vehicles Registered in the 12 California Emission Standards States Engine Control Module (ECM) Update"

Did anybody else get it??

No. Perhaps because mine wasn't an early model. Mine was built in August. It appears some of the issues were corrected before my build as there are a lot of common problems I haven't experienced in 4,500 miles.

I got it and there are some people talking about it in the warranty subforum.

frsguy707 12-25-2012 02:00 PM

I got it as well!

I got it too. It's just an update to meet emissions requirements. Nothing big.

It's a simple ECU flash, had mine done last week. I had a similar issue when I had a MINI S. It's needed for smog regs and I received a certificate that the work was done. The dealer said the cert might be needed when I renew my registration.

I got it too, I'll do later LOL

Got it too. I'll probably won't get to it until after the new year, though.

I didn't get it, but was told about it when scheduling another service. Taking care of a bunch of small stuff next monday

Before I had my ecm reflashed due to california emission standards. I had put in a K&N air filter. So after I got from the dealership; I noticed that they ran the car. I think 3 miles put on. No harm I guess. But definitely felt different. I felt better response and a good growl. So if you get your ecm flashed. I encourage you to drop that filter and feel the driving pleasure, later catz.

i'll call soon and see what it's all about i suppose
