The BSD or blind spot detection has worked intermittently since purchasing it new. Ive been honked at when merging into other vehicles on the highway several times.

1. The problem is the alleged “rubbing” of the fuel lines I have encountered among the other GR86 owners that are having the same issue. 2. Could possibly cause a fire while operating the vehicle as it has allegedly been the cause of a few already. 3. No. 4. No. 5. No since it is a hose issue.

There has been about 10-15 cases of GR86/BRZ (essentially the same car), with fires starting randomly from the engine bay on the driver…
