Saw that and read through it all and did as much research on TSB 01-177-16 without having to pay for the document. This TSB was issued in 10/16 so it has been a known issue for a while.
Just in a rough statistical sense the amount of people that have been affected by this is quite notable when you consider how small the sample group is. 3-4 cases already? Is this a foregone conclusion for early MY18 vehicle manufacture dates?
Hauling the engine out of a brand new car to fix a defect that should have NEVER come out of the factory is a major issue! That wouldn't cotton with me!
I would not be happy with that fix at all. Too many other issues could be injected into the car, just by taking the engine in and out. One guy had a P219a issue, they did the fix (TSB 01-177-16) and he got the car back with clutch issues, he then had to fight that.
All this is not what I bought a new car for, I don't care how good it handles.
Now I have to seriously think about the major investment in aftermarket equipment that I just made in this vehicle if it's going to sh*t a code that means the engine needs to be dropped. So, instead of looking at enjoying a boosted vehicle the only thing I can look forward to is if and when it is going to sh*t that code. How am I going to get out of FI purchase? Knew I shouldn't have done it.
I have an old OBD Scanner in the garage. I may have seen the check engine light on for a second, but who knows. If it trapped a P0300 or P219a code, I am seriously pissed! Addendum: No codes yet.
Can't have any fun! F-Bomb!
I hope TylerLieberman is correct, but right now I have no confidence.

Why worry so much about an issue that may never occur? I get it, you want a new car to be trouble-free, and that is my expectation as well. But life is exhausting if you spend too much of your time worrying about what could happen.
Keep your maintenance documents in order and stay alert to any signs of failure (codes, really odd noises, weird behavior) and react if (it ever) has this problem.
