PRODUCT CAMPAIGN BULLETIN

APPLICABILITY:	 2010 through 2012MY Legacy and Outback

2012 through 2013MY Impreza

2013MY XV Crosstrek™
NUMBER: WQF-42

DATE: April 2013
SUBJECT: Optional Genuine Subaru Remote Engine Starter

Subaru of America, Inc. has determined that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety,

exists on certain Subaru vehicles equipped with optional Genuine Subaru Remote Engine

Starter (RES). The Transmitter fobs may contain a defect that could adversely affect the

operation of the RES resulting in a potential safety hazard.

If an RES transmitter fob is dropped, movement of the internal battery retaining clip may

occur and cause damage to a component on the PC board. Under this condition, the fob may

transmit an engine start (or stop) request at any time without the user pressing the button.

If the vehicle is in range and receives the request, the engine may start and run for up to

15 minutes (or until a stop request is received). The engine may continue to start and stop

until the fob battery is depleted, or until the vehicle runs out of fuel. If that occurs when the

vehicle is parked in an enclosed area, such as a garage, there is a risk of carbon monoxide

build-up which may cause headaches, dizziness or, in extreme cases, unconsciousness

and/or asphyxiation.

The defect does not pose a risk while driving because the RES system is completely

deactivated after the vehicle is started with the key. The keyless entry feature on a vehicle’s

ignition key (used to lock and unlock the doors) is not affected.

This recall will involve replacing the original RES transmitter fobs and reprogramming the

new ones.
AFFECTED VEHICLES

This action includes applicable models equipped with optional RES provided they fall within

any of the following parameters:

оо The RES was installed by a port facility and delivered to a dealer on or before 2/22/13.

Please be advised that it is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor

vehicle covered by a recall under a sale or lease until the defect is remedied. Therefore,

any Authorized Subaru Dealer failing to perform the applicable service procedures as

defined in this bulletin to correct all affected vehicles in their inventory (new, used, demo

& SSLP) prior to the vehicle being placed in service may be subject to civil penalties of

up to $6,000 per violation (i.e., for each vehicle), as provided in 49 CFR §578.6 and will

also be in breach of the Subaru Dealer Agreement.
PARTS INFORMATION

Upon launch of this recall, dealers will automatically be sent a limited quantity of replacement

RES transmitters. It is suggested that dealers verify their part inventory and order additional

quantities as needed at the time a customer schedules an appointment. This will ensure the

necessary parts are available on the day a customer brings their vehicle in for service.

Description
SOA390R001
REMOTE START

TRANSMITTERS

(Contains 2 Transmitters)
Please note: Replaced transmitter fobs are on automatic warranty parts return and should

not be scrapped. All affected remote transmitters in the customers possession must be

replaced. Any lost or supplemental remote transmitters which will effect the returned

parts quantity should be noted on the repair order and acknowledged by the customer.
REPAIR PROCEDURE

The repair procedure for this safety recall will involve replacement of the Optional Genuine

Subaru Remote Engine Start (RES) system’s bi-directional remote transmitter assemblies.

This recall procedure involves replacement of ALL the remote transmitters the customer

has for the subject vehicle. For example, if the customer purchased an extra RES transmitter

to keep with their “spare” key, replacement cost for that (3rd) remote transmitter would

also be covered under the recall. To summarize, if the customer provides three (3) remote

transmitters, they receive three (3) replacements in return under the recall. Unless the

customer provides more than two remote transmitters at the time the recall is performed,

requests for any additional remote transmitters beyond the two (2) provided in the

SOA 390R001 kit would be at the customer’s expense.

The replacement remote transmitters must be programmed to the RES control module

before the system will operate. Follow the instructions below to complete the programming

procedure for each replacement remote transmitter.

1. Open the driver’s door (the driver’s door must remain open throughout the entire process).

2. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” then “OFF”, “ON” then “OFF”, “ON” then “OFF”,

then back “ON” and leave “ON” throughout the programming process (the total duration

from point of first ignition “ON” cycle must not exceed five (5) seconds). The system

will flash the side marker lights, tail lights, front position lights and honk the horn three

(3) times, indicating the system has entered the transmitter programming mode.

Continued...

Bulletin Number: WQF-42; Date: April 2013
Page 3
4. Press

and release the button on the remote transmitter you wish to program. The

system will flash the side marker lights, tail lights, front position lights and honk the

horn one (1) time, indicating the system has “learned” the replacement transmitter. Upon

successful programming, the remote transmitter button will flash one (1) time (within five

(5) seconds) for confirmation.

5. Repeat step four (4) for any additional remote transmitters (the system will accept up to

eight (8) transmitters). The system has “memory slots” to accept up to eight (8) remote

transmitters. For example if the customer provides two (2) remote transmitters, program

each of the replacements four (4) times to fill all eight (8) memory slots. When the

programming procedure is complete all eight (8) slots should be filled. This will ensure

a misplaced remote transmitter cannot inadvertently operate the RES system unless it is

programmed to the system.

6. The system will exit the transmitter programming mode if the ignition key is turned to the

“OFF” position, the door is closed, or after two (2) minutes.
RECALL IDENTIFICATION LABEL

Type or print the necessary information on a Recall identification label. The completed

label should be attached to the vehicle’s upper radiator support.

Additional labels are available through normal Parts ordering channels. The part number is

MSA6P1302. Ordering qty 1=1 sheet of 20 labels.

Important Safety Recall Notice

Subaru Recall Campaign WQF42-1

NHTSA Recall No. 13V-061

April 2013
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, INC. has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety,

exists in some 2010 through 2013 model year Subaru vehicles equipped with optional Genuine

Subaru Remote Engine Starters.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SAFETY DEFECT

Subaru has determined that your vehicle has been equipped with an optional Remote Engine

Starter (RES). The RES includes remote transmitter fobs that could malfunction and cause your

vehicle’s engine to unexpectedly start.

Remote transmitter fobs, usually attached to your vehicle key ring/holder, allow the vehicle

operator to remotely start the vehicle’s engine from a location of up to 400 feet away. If an

RES transmitter fob is dropped, movement of the internal battery retaining clip may occur and

cause damage to a component on the PC board. Under this condition, the fob may transmit an

engine start (or stop) request at any time without the user pressing the button. If the vehicle is in

range and receives the request, the engine may start and run for up to 15 minutes (or until a stop

request is received). The engine may continue to start and stop until the fob battery is depleted,

or until the vehicle runs out of fuel.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SAFETY HAZARD

If a remote transmitter fob were to malfunction and cause the engine to start when the vehicle is

parked in an enclosed area, such as a garage, there is a risk of carbon monoxide build-up which

may cause headaches, dizziness or, in extreme cases, unconsciousness and/or asphyxiation.

The defect does not pose a risk while driving because the RES system is completely deactivated

after the vehicle is started with the key. The keyless entry feature on your vehicle’s ignition key

(used to lock and unlock the doors) is not affected.

REPAIRS

To correct this condition, Subaru will replace the original RES transmitter fobs and reprogram

the new ones at no cost to you.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

You should immediately contact your Subaru Dealer for an appointment to have this repair

performed at no cost to you.

There are several important precautions you should take until this repair has been performed:

•
The batteries should be removed from the RES transmitter fobs rendering them

completely inoperable. (See battery removal instructions at the end of this letter.)
•
As a precautionary measure, it is highly recommended that you not park your vehicle

in an enclosed garage unless the transmitter fob batteries have been removed or the fobs

replaced.
HOW LONG WILL THE REPAIR TAKE?

The actual time to replace and reprogram the replacement RES transmitter fobs is approximately

15 minutes. However, it may be necessary to leave your vehicle for a longer period of time on

the day of your scheduled appointment to allow your dealer flexibility in scheduling. Please

present this letter to your Subaru Dealer at the time this repair procedure is performed. Please be

sure to bring all RES transmitter fobs with you at the time of your appointment. They are

needed to complete this repair.

IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY PAID FOR A REPAIR

If you have already paid for repairs associated with this condition, you may be eligible for

reimbursement. Reimbursement consideration will be based on the amount an authorized Subaru

dealer in your area would charge for performing those repairs.

Please send the original service repair order, which has the name of the repair facility, date of

repair, mileage at the time of repair, complete vehicle identification number (17 digits), and your

name, with correct mailing address and telephone number to the address listed below.
