PARTS INFORMATION
Parts Availability
Each Subaru Dealer with vehicles affected by this Recall Campaign will receive at no charge an inspection tool with your VIN list. New Dealers should
contact your area service office for the inspection tool. If a Dealer finds a throttle body that is missing the ball bearing after inspection, they should order
the applicable replacement throttle body assembly (Chart 2), from the PDC by calling the Parts Information Coordinator and provide the affected VIN.
No orders will be processed without the VIN. Replacement throttle body assemblies will be sent to Dealers NEXT DAY AIR. If it is necessary to keep
the customer vehicle overnight, the cost for a rental vehicle will be covered for this repair by entering applicable rental charges (maximum $25.00/day)
