What the latest with the brz? Are they just reflashing the ECU or are they changing parts as well -as Toyota has been doing?

Vin 28xx supposedly late jul build.
Update: just drove my car to the dealership vs flatbedding it. Was worried about getting the front scuff up loading it on to the truck.

Anyway dealership found the car throwing a P00017 code. They called Subaru Tech line and was told that a field tech will need to come out and reflash the car.

It was a quick response with no ambiguity. My guess is that SOA is getting quite a few of these now. Hopefully the reflash will do it and I won't need to revisit for a ECU replacement like our Scion brothers.
