Summary"THIS SERVICE INFORMATION BULLETIN REVIEWS A DESIGN CHANGE TO THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS TO ELIMINATE IMPROPER DIAGNOSIS OF THE EVAPORATIVE LEAK CHECK MODULE (ELCM) BY THE ECM WHICH COULD SET DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0451 IN ERROR. SOME EXAMPLES OF OTHER DTCS AFFECTED BY THIS HARNESS CHANGE ARE: P0068, P0452, P0453, P0107, P0108 AND P0300. THE CHANGE INVOLVES A REPOSITIONING OF THE SENSOR AND ACTUATOR WIRING GROUND JUNCTION POINT TO A LOCATION UNAFFECTED BY ENGINE MOVEMENT AND HIGH TEMPERATURES (NEAR TURBOCHARGER) WHICH MAY DEVELOP EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE. SINCE THIS CONDITION DEVELOPS OVER TIME, DTC(S) MAY SET VERY INTERMITTENTLY WITH LONG PERIODS OF TIME BETWEEN OCCURRENCES. A MORE FREQUENT OCCURRENCE OF ANY OF THESE DTC(S) MAY INDICATE A DIFFERENT ROOT CAUSE OTHER THAN THE CONDITION DESCRIBED IN THIS BULLETIN."

Summary"THIS SERVICE INFORMATION BULLETIN ANNOUNCES A DESIGN CHANGE TO THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS TO PREVENT WATER INTRUSION AND ACCUMULATION FROM OCCURRING INSIDE THE CORRUGATED PLASTIC HARNESS TUBING. IN SOME CASES, THIS ACCUMULATION MAY CAUSE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE AND EXHAUST CAMSHAFT POSITION-RELATED DTCS TO BE STORED IN THE ECM MEMORY (E.G. P0390, P0391). THE CHANGE INVOLVES FULL TAPING OF THE HARNESS TUBE AS OPPOSED TO PITCH TAPING (NO TAPE OVERLAP) TO ENHANCE SEALING OF THE HARNESS TUBE AND PREVENT WATER INTRUSION WHICH MAY OCCUR DURING ENGINE CLEANING (STEAM CLEANING AND / OR PRESSURE WASHING). UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF THIS CONDITION OCCURRING. COMPARISON PHOTOS OF THE TAPING ARE SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE."

SummarySubaru of America, Inc. (SOA) is recalling certain 2015 model year Subaru Legacy, Subaru Outback, Subaru Impreza (4Door and 5Door) and Subaru XV Crosstrek vehicles and certain 2016MY Subaru WRX vehicles equipped with a Driver Assist System. The programming of the Driver Assist System will not detect a fault in one of the associated system components. In the event of Brake Lamp Switch (BLS) failure, the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) correctly detects the BLS failure, but the Driver Assist System will be delayed in detecting the BLS failure. Therefore, it will take longer for the multi information display to inform the driver of a malfunction. In addition, VDC will not receive the brake request from the Driver Assist System, resulting in no automatic braking, including Adaptive Cruise Control and PreCollision Braking.

SummaryThis bulletin announces a repair procedure to address customer concerns of the hood scoop scrubbing the finish of the hood panel in the areas shown in the photo below. Due to different expansion rates between the metal hood panel and the resin material used for the hood scoop, the edges of the scoop?s rear corners may come in contact with the hood panel and abrade the finish. The procedure involves installation of 2 pieces of self-adhesive rubberized material to act as protectors (insulators) between the scoop and hood panel.
