False, not all....mine is at 4,000+ miles, no CEL...Dave-ROR's is at 8,000+ miles no CEL...matter of fact we've haven't had 1 BRZ or Impreza in for this concern...and we sell quite a few...

And it's not a top engine rebuild, it involves the Oil Control Valves (for the VVT), the Exhaust Cam Sprocket and the ECM. In some cases just the OCV's need to be replaced, in others only the Cam sprockets, and in a few, all of the parts need to be replaced.

It can affect Impreza's with the FB20 and all models with the FA20.
The TSB only applies if you have had a CEL.
