I believe that this might be the case with the FR-S.

I think so too because I tried looking for a return spring pulling the fork back to withdrawn position and I see none. I have seen other designs from other companies use a return spring.
Perhaps the grease they use on these TOBs are also not meant for colder temps. Just speculating since people mention that the whining noise they hear goes away after warm up. When I read about noise of a bearing in cold temps it always leads me to lack of lubrication in cold. If that is the case then Subraru should not slap the repair bill on the customer saying its a normal wear and tear. This would be a design flaw.
