In your case my guess would be that your car was built with a least one part that was before they started August 2012 production.

I've done plenty of searching on www.realoem.com and have not yet come across parts that changed with 8/2012 production. 7/2012, YES, but not 8/2012. There must be something, somewhere in that parts catalog that changed in 8/2012 that is not in your car.

My guess.
Definately sounds plausible.. but the service manager appears to disagree. Time will tell.
