Default Is there an official "fix" yet for the ecoboost condensation issue?

I know there are plenty of threads about the ecoboost misfire/shudder/condensation issue but I haven't heard if there's an official fix. The latest I had performed was TSB 13-8-1 in late August of 2013. I have not experienced the issue since, but as anyone knows that's dealt with this, you have to have to be driving a fairly extended period in wet / humid conditions to re-create. Typically, I'm only in that environment a couple of times a year, but, that's also when I take my family on our family vacation and safety and reliability are of upmost importance. Also, anyone that's experienced this won't forget that feeling when they pull out to pass and watch their speedometer drop while their foot is to the floor. I'm closing in on warranty expiration so I want to make sure all warranty issues are taken care of soon. Mine is a 2012 by the way. Thanks for any info you can give me.

Drill the hole, I've never had it since I did.

Tighter spark plug gaps and replace them more often. I haven't had the problem since I replaced my burnt out .040 gapped plugs with new .030 gap plugs at 41,000 and again at 60,000 when one developed a miss. And folks, if one plug starts to miss, the rest are not far behind.
