Additional grease and a change to the plating process used on some of the internal components are changes made to address concerns of a rasping-type noise when applying the brakes.
The new switches are available as follows:
Impreza and Forester: P/N 83311FG001
WRX and BRZ: P/N 83311CA001
The new switches can be identified by a brown-colored harness connection socket as opposed to the early version, which was black.
