The TSB and new part came out in 2017 and covers some cars made in 2017 so it all depends on the build date of your car. |

I was expecting this to be about a hole in the engine that crickets make nests in

Consider yourself relatively lucky that your car's TOB lasted that long, which is about twice longer than average. Moving from Seattle to Kentucky must have been a culture shock - humfrz |

Yes, but in the good way. I have to say this car is perfect for my driving habits and location. If I still lived in the Seattle area it would be pointless to buy such a car - at least for me. It's all about the beautifully maintained, cop free twisties of Kentucky for me. In Seattle it would be a ticket magnet that I could rarely really put through its paces.

Sure enough, I took the shroud off and the offending cylinder was completely enveloped in straw/grass and when I got that off all the cooling fins were completely embeded in dirt. I cleaned it and never had another problem. Then there was the time a bunny chewed through my fuel line. |

I just did it out of order this time. Because of my high miles compared to everyone else, I just assumed my problem was fairly unique and didn't even bother to look. Who knew it was a serious design defect. |
