As a forum we are looking at actions to correct the handful of FRS/BRZs involved and not seeing the big picture. They are not going to give new engines to anybody nor start rebuilding and swapping heads. There are just too many variables and logistics involved to make that feasible.


"Subaru is taking a substantial hit from this development, having cut operating profit expectations for the April-September period (the first half of Japan’s financial year) last week by $434 million (49 billion yen). The company now estimates an operating profit of $540 million (61 billion yen) for this period, which is largely a result of the recall and its subsequent costs."
