There were issues back in 2009 to 2011 with sprigs and there was piles of info on that.

There is a recall number for the US but it's not on the Subaru website yet. So no solid info for which cars will be included.

Subaru TSB 02-151-14R. It's meant to reduce a tapping or sewing machine type noise when warm from the left cylinder head. It involves replacing the left side intake and exhaust camshafts, rockers, pivots and valves. Also slightly different valve clearance specifications. It seems to be just to repair a noise complaint, not actually fix a mechanical defect or problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

More likely just chance. Remember the Twins are less than 20% of the vehicles affected so it had nothing to do with their actual release dates.

I have a 2013 FRS that is part of the valve spring recall. The car has already been in a shop since October. It stalled and was found to have broken rocker arms and bent valves. The shop could not say exactly how it happened. It has around 50k miles. I will attempt to have Toyota reimburse me for the repairs. I am wondering if anyone has heard of catastrophic engine failure because of this issue. We definitely had a failure of some kind in the heads. I was told it is very difficult to know exactly what caused the failure because so many things broke as a result. Hard to determine what failed first.
List of broken components: bent valves cracked valve guides cracked springs possible cracked heads (still being evaluated) broken tooth on crank gear crank gear cracked through pistons dented or gouged |

Well looks like I could be one of the unlucky few. 30425. Contacted the dealer today so we’ll see what happens. At least it packed away for that winter now

I was one of the earlier production, vin 1121. I thought my car was not in the recall list, but I just got the recall notice yesterday in the mail. I will contact the dealer Monday and see what they say.

Hey all, been a while since I've been actively posting. Just got my recall notice over the weekend. I'm gonna hold off and wait until the Spring before I do anything as the BRZ's tucked away for the winter, and I want to see how others are treated that have extensive mods (Supercharger).
For reference, VIN is 2143 |

I just talked to the dealer. They said they don't have the tools to perform the fix right now.
