They are worked out, it was a production line issue with over torquing or under torquing. The engine is not the same from 2013 btw. There are some differences in internals, coil packs etc from 2013, 2015 and 2017-2018 all to make the engine more efficient, even the "red manifold" which flows better is a design cost. From an engine production standpoint those are massive differences.
@Tcoat happen to have the brochure link of all the changes for just the 2017+ or 2018 year?
