If they opt to keep things the same during the mid-cycle refresh, things usually stay resolved. Best recent example: RAV4 and roof leaks, high voltage cable corrosion, and 8 speed transmission issues. All designs changed/modified verified by part #'s and visuals.
Anyways, definitely not saying this is acceptable but it's what I expect. Hoping we can get this all resolved.

I have been management in Tier One parts manufacturing for over 30 years. My statement was not based on the internet or some random YouTuber.
If they opt to keep things the same then it is not refreshed and yes the risk is lower.
Failure can happen anyplace in the lifecylce.
The valve spring recall from the 2013s had nothing to do with first run issue (there were 400,000 other cars involved) and neither does this sealant issue really. Remember they have been making near identical 2.4s for over four years now. If it had been an injector issue it could be attributed to new processes but it is exactly the same bottom end in the Ascent engines.
