I remembered that there was the ECU TSB that adjusted timing to prevent DI seal blowout. I mentioned to my friend at the dealer that there was a newer flash for my car and forgot to check the VIN range. This was weeks after I took delivery of my car...
He replied with "your car already has the ECU updated. If you want me to do it again I will, I'll just have to charge you"
