I just hope it's not a bumpy one and that I get my car back in the perfect working order. It sucks to think I paid and only a few months later, I get a refurbished.

Not because of any redesign, I was simply saying this motor is not the same from 2013 and 2014, so many changes people don't even notice, for instance my 2015 have completely different coil packs and wiring harness for them than 2013-2014.

This issue effecting your car was a production line issue, either someone had the wrong setting on one of there machines to torque down the valves or something similiar to that.
