BOTH replies from dealership and SOA are cookie cutterish any way you looked at it. But the fact that one source says they didn't know about it (fair enough) and the other one says "We are are aware of these concerns and are working on it through processes yada yada...", then its a no-brainer why I would be "happy" (more like relieved, glad) big SOA is admitting (sort of) to this and a solution is on the way.

For those keen on statistics.....Hundreds is conservative estimate with all the known issues combined. I should had been more specific, it is approaching 100 on the CEL issue alone. The CEL list on one of the links I provided is now approaching 80. There are couple more blogs online, YouTube online with cars (mostly FRSs) with same issue, there are two other separate BRZ or FRS forum websites recording similar issues.

Peace out guys...I will provide an update here or the TSB once I hear back from SOA when they have a more permanent fix on the engine issues/CEL issues.
Thank you for your continued updates! I'm always reading this whenever I can, hoping there's a permanent solution soon rather than later.
A member of this forum had 6xxx miles on their vehicle and just got the CEL/slip-light recently...
So it seems to me like no one is really out-of-the-woods just yet from this potential issue; regardless of mileage...

For the rest of us, the time bomb just keeps ticking...
(Don't get me wrong though; keep driving your cars and have fun with them; I'm just hoping there is an answer soon for the guys and girls with their CEL problem...Gives everyone a peace of mind)

Cheers! :happy0180:
