OWNER LETTER
SUBARU OF AMERICA Subaru Plaza P.O. Box 6000 Cherry Hill, NJ 08034-6000
December 1990
Dear Subaru Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Subaru of America has determined that two (2) defects which relate to motor vehicle safety exist in some 1990MY and 1991 MY Sedan and Station
Wagon models.
The first is due to the defroster lever pin becoming dislocated from the defroster shutter door which results in the defroster not operating.
This condition, if not corrected, could result in reduced visibility under high humidity and rainy/winter driving situations. As a temporary measure, your
air conditioning system (if installed in your vehicle) could be used to clear the windows of moisture until the actual repair is performed.
In order to remedy this condition a retainer bracket will be installed on the defroster lever pin by your Subaru Dealer.
The parts needed for this repair are available at your Subaru dealer now. You should make an appointment at your convenience with your Subaru Dealer
to have this repair procedure performed.
The time required to perform this repair procedure is approximately twelve (12) minutes. although additional repair time may be required if the defroster
shutter door is cut of position. However, please plan to leave your vehicle at your Subaru Dealer for the full day of your scheduled appointment to allow
the dealer some flexibility in scheduling other customers.
The repair procedure will be performed by your Subaru Dealer at no charge to you.
You must present the enclosed two-part Recall Certification/Repair Order Form identified by "WZT-42" to your dealer at the time this repair procedure
is performed.
The second defect is due to the front door latch screws becoming loose over the passage of time, causing the affected door not to latch properly.
This condition, if not corrected, may possibly result in difficulty of opening the door and. once opened, failure of the door to latch. In the event that your
automatic shoulder belt is rendered inoperable by this condition, please refer to Section "In Case of An Emergency" of your owner manual for
instructions on how to manually operate your shoulder belt.
Remember to wear your lap and shoulder restraints at all times when operating your vehicle. Your lap belt must be fastened manually.
In the event one of the front doors will not close securely, please contact your Subaru Dealer for towing arrangements. Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle.
