Well, I haven't received a letter yet from Toyota, but my local dealership just called me directly to schedule the work. Unfortunately I missed the call and am waiting for a callback now...curious what info will come out of this..

just to circle back, because the intake manifold isn't coming off for this recall work, you save no/minimal time for the DI seal job. Because that means ~$500 parts cost, ~$500+ labour, and a lot of frustration for a tech that's likely doing the seals for the first time ever, I'm not going to get this done pre-emptively. If I go FI, i'll just do it at that time.

Also if getting more work done during the recall , it just presents even more opportunity for the "talented techs" to **** up the car even more. The only good mechanics around sydney own their own business! |

Don't do it. It's not worth any trouble.

What manual, the recall instructions? If so, they are already public on the NHTSA site: https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/c...72&docType=RCL |

All, just reading the comments here, I thought I'd throw something out there. I have a built n/a motor from @Elementtuning. This included aftermarket valve springs. When getting my wrx serviced the local subie dealership offered to do the valve spring work on my brz. I told them my motor is far from stock and I'm planning on skipping. The adviser told me to bring it in, note what's been done and they'll somehow mark my car down as completed or incompletable? due to aftermarket parts already existing. He said that you could insist you have aftermarket stuff on the car and thus the vehicle is no longer applicable, in some way for the recall. I only mention this as I know some people in Cali are freaking out because they believe they may be forced to do the recall and blow their motor. Given the age of the affected vehicles it might not be a bad idea to simply go in with the recall notice and say I'm in no way stock, please mark me as completeish? I'm not sure if this will help the Cali folks but its worth a go.
For the record this was Frederick, MD Subaru and I've had pretty good luck with them. Best of luck everyone Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk |

PS. My MY13 BRZ failed about 3 weeks ago, they're still investigating (the lone Subaru dealership in my country) if it's recall related. I'm not from the USA btw |
