AUDIO / NAVIGATION & POWER AMPLIFIER COMPONENT OUT-OF-WARRANTY
EXCHANGE / REPAIR PROGRAM
Vehicles outside the terms of the New Car Basic or Parts Warranties may utilize the Exchange/
Repair Program which is to be referenced as an “Out-of Warranty Exchange Program”. Subaru Added
Security Gold Plus customers are entitled to this “out-of-warranty” exchange program when the
failure meets the terms of the Agreement.
The out-of-warranty exchange program is intended to enhance customer satisfaction by providing a
prompt exchange with a quality factory serviced audio unit which has been refurbished to the highest
standards.
All out-of-warranty orders will be subject to availability. In case of low stock, “in-warranty” orders
will take priority over “out-of-warranty” orders. In general, this program is for internal failures and
does not include exchanges for damage (spilled liquid, scratches, etc.) Speak with the manufacturer to
determine exchange eligibility.
Out of Warranty Exchange Program procedures are outlined below. Please have the following information available when contacting the Service Center.
