The release of the revised Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) manual has been pushed out to the end of 1st or early 2nd quarter 2019. This AIAG and VDA-QMC collaboration will eventually revise all of the core tools.

The approved SIs for IATF 16949:2016 are related to sections 3.1 and 9.2.2.2; these are effective January 2019. Deleted FAQ 10, 8.4.2.3.1 related to embedded software is obsolete due to SI 15; deleted FAQ 18, 9.2.2.2 related to quality management system audits is obsolete due to SI 14.
