Summary
Subaru of America, Inc. has determined that vehicles affected by this Service Program require ECM reprogramming.
OWNER NOTIFICATION
Notification letters will be sent by First Class mail to owners of all potentially affected vehicles in early February, 2016. A copy of the letter is included at the end of this bulletin.
RETAILER AFFECTED VIN LISTS
Each Subaru retailer will receive an affected VIN list from their Zone Office when owner notification begins. Vehicles will be assigned to retailers in the affected VIN list as follows:
Original vehicle owners are assigned to the original selling retailer when their current address is within a 100 mile radius of that retailer.
If the original selling retailer is inactive, the VIN has been assigned to the nearest active retailer.
For any new owners or when original owners live more than 100 miles from the original selling retailer, the VIN has been assigned to the nearest active retailer.
IMPORTANT: Retailer affected VIN lists include owner name and address information for vehicles affected by this service program. This information will enable retailers to follow-up with owners of potentially affected vehicles. The lists contain owners’ names and addresses obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is unlawful. Accordingly, retailers are required to limit the use of these lists for the purpose of completion of this Service Program.
