Talked to a lot of BRZ/GR guys at Boxerfest this weekend and a few of them of them had dropped their pan and inspected the pickups, with no silicone inside. So that was good to hear.
Most is probably what get pinched off when the parts are torqued down but some of course can still break off with time.

Good to hear there are some without concerns since we will only see all the horror stories. The same one over and over, and over, until the problem seems way more common than reality.
