Hmmm... will this have any impact on our market?

interesting.... great find.

love this comment on that forum.

I guess this will affect about 5 people nationally and another two globally.

Curious. Mine is a Jan 08 build, but where do you find the number they refer to there - GT-B from 222958 onwards or 2008/02/04 on? Only have a 6 digit number at the end of the vin, and it starts with a zero.

At this stage it only applies to LHD vehicles delivered in the USA.

I asked the sales guy at docklands about it. havent seen that he says an hour or so ago. just got an email to say he has now seen the note, and suggests I check with service to see if my car is a possibility.....He did say all the 2.5T engines come out of Japan though.
Update - service called me back - dont know sh!t so far. 16:45
Update - called back at 17:30 - my car is in the sequence. It starts ( last 6 digits of VIN) from 068148 - mine is 068737. Advice - keep your ears open for engine noises.......

oh crap....

that means I'll be waiting even longer for the bloody car.....the supposed eta was late April....

I have a feeling that it would be mid May to late May before I pick up this car......

arghh!!!!!

[jp928]

Dunno who is worse off - me waiting for something to happen maybe, or you just waiting, and hoping its fixed SOON!

Good on you Subaru.

A stop sale was issued with then 2007 turbo liberty after one stalled on a roundabout. The issue was a small piece of cable/lead or something like that.

Other companies should follow suit and stop leaving things to get ugly then issue a recall.

Well if things don't work out, at least you'll have one of the greatest garage sales ever!

possibly...but nah....i'm just gonna have to pray that all is well and the lovely bits i've ordered will be fitted on without any dramas.....

if that possibility ever arises then the sydney siders will have a good shopping spree.....
