AKLGT Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 that's all i was saying, if i owned a vehicle that could possibly be affected by it, I would like to know. what does my 2.5i have to do with this? I never mentioned it nor is it mentioned in the original post. so, i think you have some misdirected frustration here. i could only barely begin to imagine the frustration and anger you must be experiencing right now. i'm not trying to make light the issue's effect on you or any of the vehicle owners. i hope that everything works out for you. Please go back and RE-READ the BOLD AND UNDERLINED part of the TSB. Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackfang Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I love how people are panicking about legacys when there has been no indication that they are affected whatsoever I love how some are saying they spoke to their local parts guy told them what the repair for this is.

Jon in CT Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The latest announcement:IMMEDIATE STOP SALE ORDER TO: GLR-- MAR-- NWR-- SCR-- SDC-- SWR Dealers FROM: Subaru of America, Inc. DEPARTMENT: Service DATE: 04/07/2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Legacy vehicles have been added to the Stop Sale We regret to inform you that we must place an immediate stop sale order on all of the 2008/2009 Subaru Impreza, Forester and Legacy vehicles equipped with a 2.5L Turbo Engine produced with the beginning chassis number and later as shown below. Model Body Type Chassis Number Production Date Forester Wagon 701045 or later 2008/01/08 or later Legacy 2.5GT-LTD 222825 or later 2008/02/04 or later 2.5GT-B 222958 or later 2008/02/04 or later OBK 2.5XT-LTD 353835 or later 2008/02/01 or later Impreza Sedan 523363 or later 2008/01/08 or later Wagon 825183 or later 2008/01/08 or later The reason for this immediate Quality Assurance action is that there have been several reports of “Engine Knocking Noise” from other markets on vehicles produced after the production dates listed. Initial investigation confirms an internal wear issue on the failed units. In the interest of preventing any possibility of failures for our customers, we have chosen to isolate any potentially affected vehicles by ceasing sales of the potentially affected units until the root cause and correction can be identified. All the other displacement engines and the 2.5L Natural Aspirated Engine are excluded from this action. Your region/distributor will be contacting you with a detailed list of affected vehicles assigned to your dealership. However, dealer trades cannot be tracked so please be aware of the affected VIN range. If you have a vehicle in inventory that falls into the affected vehicle range, please ensure that your sales and service staff are immediately notified that the unit is un-saleable until further notice from SOA or your region/distributor. If any of those vehicles has an unusual engine noise, please notify the SOA Technical Helpline immediately with all of the details and submit an E-QMR. Should a customer bring an affected vehicle into your service department for an unusual engine noise, please immediately arrange that they are given the use of a clean SSLP vehicle and notify the Technical Helpline and submit an E-QMR. You will be contacted shortly thereafter on how to proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed 2.0 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Mine (purchased 6/04/07) is 20XXXX. But still, this is huge screw-up. Subaru dealers can't sell a single turbo model right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiesong Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I called my sales person before I confirmed my VIN to see if I could get some info... We'll see if she can find anything out since she is a bit of a motorhead as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ma_USMC Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Looks like my order of a 2008 DGM LGT will be delayed a while. I contacted the local SOA dealer and they aren't even aware of the situation yet. This is a real bummer considering the delivery date of the 18th makes it 5 weeks of car-pooling and that doesn't even factor in the delay. I'm actually considering canceling my order if I can get my down-payment back. I really have been looking forward to this vehicle but I'm worried that any temporary fix now is just that: temporary.

soopah Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 see post #61 Are the listed numbers the last 6 digits of the affected VINs? And the listed dates are the build dates when problems started? My VIN ends in 336xxx. It is a Canadian LGT Wagon made in the USA, and I believe the build date is 10/07 (that's what the door sticker says). I think I should be safe.

soopah Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks jamiesong, I see it goes by chassis, so my LGT wagon chassis is aligned with the VINs of Outback wagons in the USA. Interesting. Still, this is bad news for Subaru and bad news for Legacy GT / Outback XT fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
