blackfang Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 How does a dealer become steller performing?I can't find any info about it. Usually you won't being that is an internal process of standards between SOA and the dealer where the dealer is graded by a 3rd party. However, you can find out of a dealer is a Stellar Performer. Just go onto dealer locater on www.subaru.com Under the dealers name with be this icon http://www.subaru.com/media/image/icons/stellar.jpg That shows they are a Stellar Performer. The CPO icon is for a dealer who is a Certified Pre-Owned dealer and some are SPT certified. My dealer is just a Stellar Performer.

strife1012 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I took my car in this morning, I can't wait for the Recall notice, as I leave for Iraq 1 week after the supposed notice date. Plus, I can't have it wait for the other 100 legacys in town to get fixed as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no go for me. hopefully they atleast figure out my disappearing P/S fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strife1012 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Same here, No Parts are in yet, I'm setting up to have it done when the parts arrive. At least I get a new 07 spec B Seat for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no go for me. hopefully they atleast figure out my disappearing P/S fluid. That is because the information on these forums are spread earlier than the notification letters and the administrative/technician information for what the dealers get. I should be getting the administrative info on the recalls around oct 6th and customer letters should be around the 20th.

FishingFiend Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Same here, No Parts are in yet, I'm setting up to have it done when the parts arrive. For those who've already had this done, are the recall'd repairs using a different part? Irvine Subaru said the parts have been out for like 6 months?

mad99 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 My car just started smoking too. 2007 spec.B, 92XX miles, in the VIN range. So dealers don't have the improved parts yet? What are they likely to mess up during the install? My local dealer has not demonstrated simple competence. How difficult to install the aftermarket oil pipe solution?

JohnnyGT08 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Brought my car in smoking last month. 2008 GT with almost 25,000 miles on it. At least now I know I didn't do it!

D0WNxSH1FT Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I called my dealer last week, they knew of the recall, but did not have the parts yet. The TSB says Oct 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfang Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 My car just started smoking too. 2007 spec.B, 92XX miles, in the VIN range. So dealers don't have the improved parts yet? Not yet. What are they likely to mess up during the install? My local dealer has not demonstrated simple competence. How difficult to install the aftermarket oil pipe solution? All depends on what technician works on the vehicle. We don't know how comptetant the techs are at every dealer. I am lucky as all 3 of mine are as they have been working on Subaru's since the 80's. Some dealers aren't as lucky.

Mr. Ed Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Yes there was an upgraded part that they have been using already. exactly... the parts have been out... the dealers had no prior reason to order a bunch of them remember just becasue a vin is included in the recall, it doesn't mean that vehicle needs the repair. From what I understand most of the vehicles will already have the support bracket version of the oil feed line. It's mainly the lines that did not have this bracket that were affected.

jyax Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Went to dealer today to get an oil change. They mentioned this recall and asked if I wanted to have it done along with the oil change... Said yes... and 2 hours later they're done. Does that sound right? Reading the posts here thought it would take a lot longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the info in the first post, they will only replace the entire oil line if they find the one on your car deformed. If they find no problem with the oil line then all they do is install a support bracket to increase its rigidity. They probably found no problems with your car and installed the new bracket to keep the line in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island Legacy Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 ahhh... reading > me. Thanks. Any Chance of getting the picture of the new bracket installed. Can you possibly post a pic of you RO Sheet you got from the dealer with the info from the job, ie. part#s etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowImg Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 The kit has to be ordered per car, and the sheet I have here just lists it as "RECALL KIT". Mine should go in sometime next week, so I'll be able to get pictures and such. The dealer said they had to create a small tool to help with the job, but with said tool it's a 15-20 minute task. I'll try to get more info when I go back to have it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
