  Summary

  Rear Combination Lamp and Related Enhancements - Since the introduction of the BRZ, there have been a number of revisions to the rear combination lamps and their sealing gaskets (a.k.a. packing) to address varying customer concerns. Conditions ranging from the accumulation of water and condensation, to insect intrusion and lens / body cracking have all been addressed in previous bulletins. Recently, concerns about a cloudy appearance of the lens have created yet another bulletin. To help better organize these publications, all the related bulletins are being been condensed into this new release putting all the information in one place for easier reference.

  Summary

  This bulletin provides a procedure to address customer concerns of a high-pitched "chirp", "squeak" or "cricket" sound heard coming from the engine's Direct Injection (DI) high-pressure fuel pump. Not all DI pumps may exhibit this sound. Some vehicles may have components which in combination with certain fuel temperatures and / or formulations, may result in aeration of the fuel within the body of the pump and cause this sound. This result is non-detrimental to the vehicle. Production changes have been made to eliminate the source of the sound. IMPORTANT: A "clack" or mechanical "ticking" sound also made by operation of the highpressure fuel pump is considered to be a normal operating characteristic and no attempt should be made to repair it.

  Summary

  Various paint manufacturers designate their own stock numbers and coding information although many of the major suppliers are now using the SOA paint codes to help eliminate possible confusion. Their color formulations are updated on a continual basis. Some vendors may have different color names than those provided to them by SOA. Be sure to double-check the codes and formulas beforehand to help insure an accurate color match. Should discrepancies arise, please refer your Body Shop contact inquiries to the specific paint vendor or their jobber/supplier for the most updated formula information.

  Summary

  This bulletin provides a procedure to address a hard starting condition which may occur on vehicles repeatedly driven for short distances. For example: This condition could arise while the vehicle is in inventory for an extended period of time, regularly started, moved around the lot then shut off before the engine comes up to full operating temperature. This type of repeated, short trip driving can cause carbon deposits to accumulate on the spark plugs and over time, the hard start condition to develop. This condition may take 60 or more similar ?cycles? as described above to manifest so, by description alone, it would be very rare for this to happen and quite challenging to duplicate.
