Given the number of complaints about quality control with that model of lens I’m assuming there must be a design defect somewhere
I wonder if Sony ever tweaked the design of the 16-70mm in more recent years to work around the problem - like they did with the A mount 16-80mm and its autofocus issues. With the latter you could supposedly tell the revision from the first two digits of the serial number on the front.
Not that it really helps you unless you can get a refund for the repair and find another copy that’s priced cheaply
