Took my ST to the dealer today with what I thought was an oil pan leak turns out it was the front axel disconnect assembly.

The dealer just replaced the o-rings. Will they still be the same shitty ones that have contributed to the failures since day or will they be revised blue ones?

I wasn’t aware of the TSB for the proper FADA elimination fix until later today, the car didn’t have any codes just was leaking oil on the driveway like a vintage Porsche

You will almost certainly have gotten a newer part. I feel like all MY2020-2021 will get this leak--it's just a matter of when.

I’m gonna do the whole FADA delete thing soon…mine leaks too so I might as well get a problem prone part out of the car completely.

I would think you’d get the updated one.
