vehicles in their inventory (new, used, demo) prior to the vehicle being placed in service may be subject to civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation
(i.e., for each vehicle), as provided in 49 USC §30165(a) of the Safety Act, and will also be in breach of the Subaru Dealer Agreement.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
This recall will involve inspecting the position of the VDC G sensor. If the sensor is found to be installed correctly, no further action is needed. If the
sensor is found to be installed incorrectly (backwards), the sensor must be removed and reinstalled in the correct position. The VDC system will also
require reprogramming to ensure proper operation.
VDC G SENSOR POSITION INSPECTION
The VDC G sensor is located in the center of the console just below the transmission shifter. Note: the center console was removed for illustration
purposes.
Move the driver's seat to the most reward position. Position yourself as illustrated.
Push in, slightly pull down, and move the carpet slightly forward to gain a view of the G sensor. Use a flashlight to verify the direction of the arrow on
the G sensor.
If the arrow is pointing towards the front of the vehicle, no further action is required.
