DSTG Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hmm, never really read into it, but just had this done a few days ago while they were swapping out passenger side airbag. Now that I read this description about snow jamming it up and such, I know for a fact that it has happened to mine, but I would usually mist and cycle, and I guess that was just enough dripping to clean out the snow so it would park right. Minor when you think about it, but good of them to make that right. What I wish they would make right is give us a credit for headlight bulbs changed out over the years even without a receipt because of the auto function!

jojorios Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Thank you!! That lead me to http://m.subaru.oemdtc.com/Recall/WTK-71R.pdf Which has all the answers. The only thing I would of had to remove was the strut bar which would of taken 1 second. Bastards! At least it will be a cheap fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww516 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 You may want to contact SoA about this, even if it's not too complain about your dealership- not sure what their stance is on owners doing their own recall work, but if you just do it yourself, that recall is still going to show as incomplete.

jojorios Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Does the recall staying open cause any issues outside of me receiving occasional mail about it? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww516 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Other than the possibility of the car burning your house down (in theory, if you believe the letter), probably not. Then again, I've never lived in a place that required safety inspections, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they look for open recalls as part of that process.

Perscitus Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Does the recall staying open cause any issues outside of me receiving occasional mail about it?I personally decided to skip this recall when I received the letter a few months ago and dont intend on ever getting it done Jorge. Zero issues with the motor housing or my wiper arms in 7 years, one less reason to ever visit any of our NYC dealerships, and thanks to the pdf instructions I know I dont want them touching the car for this. Garage queen never gets anything obstructed by the wiper arms anyway. If I'm ever feeling bored and have time to spare, I will just do it myself. Highly doubt that though.

Ellesedil Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 The only potential issue I can think of is if you decide to sell your vehicle and some potential buyers view open recalls on the vehicle negatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojorios Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I'll keep the receipt and a pic or so of it when I replace. So that If I ever do decide sell, I have some proof that I changed it and worst case, they could always get it done. I don't forsee this recall as a deal breaker.
