Fitment on this one is narrow by design: the 2016 Scion FR-S service and repair manual is built around the 2.0L H4 (FA20) and the transmission your car actually left the line with, so the clearances, torque values and service intervals in it are the ones published for this exact year and drivetrain rather than a close approximation pulled from a neighboring model year.

Known issues on the 2016 FR-S. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two of them concern vehicle labels: one is filed under tires, where an incorrect label may result in the vehicle being overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash, and the other under equipment labels, where an incorrect label may lead an owner to overload the vehicle, again increasing the risk of a crash. The third covers the automatic transmission park/neutral start interlock switch on cars so equipped, where the key can be removed from the ignition when the transmission is not in the "Park" position. Owners have filed 3 complaints for the year and Scion has issued 16 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether it's verifying a load capacity label, testing the interlock switch on an automatic car, or working through a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2016 FR-S.
