  Summary

  "AS PART OF SUBARU’S DEDICATION TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, SOA IS ANNOUNCING A DASHBOARD WARRANTY EXTENSION PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM EXTENDS WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR DASHBOARDS ON ALL 2005-2009 SUBARU OUTBACK AND SUBARU LEGACY VEHICLES SOLD OR LEASED IN THE UNITED STATES. THIS CHANGE IS IN ANTICIPATION THAT A SMALL NUMBER OF VEHICLES MAY REQUIRE REPAIRS FOR STICKY AND/OR MELTED DASHBOARDS AS A RESULT OF EXPOSURE TO HEAT OR HUMIDITY. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL, AS IT DOES NOT IMPACT VEHICLE SAFETY. IF A DASHBOARD HAS NOT MELTED OR BECOME STICKY AS A RESULT OF EXPOSURE TO HEAT OR HUMIDITY, NO REPAIR IS NECESSARY UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT DETAILS REGARDING THIS PROGRAM, AND REVIEW THEM WITH ALL APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL. "

  Summary

  WE ANNOUNCED LATE LAST MONTH THAT THE WQR-53 TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL 2005-2008 MODEL YEAR LEGACY AND OUTBACK VEHICLES. DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE INDUSTRY-WIDE TAKATA RECALL SITUATION, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT ALL SUBARU RETAILERS ENSURE THAT RECALLED VEHICLES ARE REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. BASED ON BALLISTIC TESTING RESULTS, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH REGISTRATION HISTORY IN HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY (HAH) AREAS ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO RUPTURE. THEREFORE, WE URGE YOU TO FOCUS YOUR INITIAL EFFORTS ON CONTACTING YOUR AFFECTED CUSTOMERS WITH A REGISTRATION HISTORY IN THE HAH AREAS, TO SCHEDULE AND COMPLETE THIS REPAIR (SEE AFFECTED VIN LISTS BELOW).
