The recall is for a little under 4000 cars, but includes 4Runner, Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser, RAV4, Scion FRS, and XB; the FR-S is one of the lowest-volume cars on that list. Maybe someone will actually get a recall letter?

EDIT: From the filing with NHTSA: "
During a routine audit, SET found that two accessory installers were not using a
supplied torque wrench to properly attach running boards and other accessories to
vehicles when the installation instructions specifically required a specific torque for
the attaching fasteners. If the fasteners are not properly tightened to the specified
torque, the fastener could come loose, possibly allowing the accessory to fall off the
vehicle, which could result in a crash or injury."
