Frankie Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I just bought a 2005 VDC last week. Subaru Corporate Customer Service told me that the Transmission Control Module Software has to be replaced. He didn't exactly say it was a recall, but my car is affected. Does anyone know what the impact of this TCM software being replaced means in layman's terms? Is there a danger driving the car until it's replaced. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
