Exchange Component Identification and
Procedures

NUMBER: 15-313-23R
DATE: 07/27/23
REVISED: 03/25/24

INTRODUCTION
This bulletin contains illustrations of exchange components and their manufacturer as well as a
description of the proper exchange procedure. The exchange program policy can also be found in
Sections 8.4.9 and 11.2.10 of your Claims Policies and Procedures Manual found in Subarunet.
CONTENTS
Within the terms of the Basic New Car Warranty and the one year Replacement Parts Warranty, the
Exchange Program provides for replacement of a defective unit from the manufacturer.
In the event the vehicle is “New” and “In-stock”,call the Vendor’s Service Center prior to calling
Subaru Retailer Claims. A new unit will be supplied rather than a remanufactured unit. If the Vendor
Service Center is unable to provide a new unit, immediately contact a Subaru Retailer Claims
Specialist at 1-866-782-2782 prior to placing an order for further instructions.
The replacement of a new unit, other than new units supplied through the exchange program, requires
authorization from a Subaru of America, Inc. Retailer Claims Specialist at 1-866-782-2782. An
authorization code will be provided and must be included upon claim submission.
Vehicles that have been placed in demo service should use exchange units only.

CAUTION: VEHICLE SERVICING PERFORMED BY UNTRAINED PERSONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THOSE PERSONS OR TO OTHERS.
Subaru Service Bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians ONLY. They
are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur in some vehicles,
or to provide information that could assist in the proper servicing of the vehicle. Properly
trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to
do the job correctly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that this
Service Bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition.

Subaru of America, Inc. is
ISO 14001 Compliant
ISO 14001 is the international standard
for
excellence
in
Environmental
Management Systems. Please recycle
or dispose of automotive products in a
manner that is friendly to our environment
and in accordance with all local, state
and federal laws and regulations.

At this time, the Service Center will issue an exchange number. It is required that this number
be provided upon claim submission.
An exchange chassis along with an exchange form will be shipped within 72 hours. If the exchange
chassis is not received within 5 days, call the Service Center. Provide the operator with the exchange
number when making inquiries.
3) Install the exchange unit as soon as possible upon receipt. Return the defective chassis to the
manufacturer within 30 days. Return freight charges may be claimed as sublet, provided the
repair was performed under the terms of the Basic New Car Warranty. Copies of the freight
invoice should be attached to the repair order.
If the exchange unit has not been installed or the failed chassis has not been returned within 30 days,
contact the Service Center. Reference the exchange number and explain the circumstances causing
the delay. An extension will be granted or the retailer will be instructed to return the exchange unit.
Failure to comply will result in a “charge back” to the retailer for the cost of the exchange unit.
The retailer must return the failed component in the same approved packaging that the exchange unit
arrived in. Harman exchange units arrive with a pre-paid return shipping label. A hard copy of the
printout from the on-line order or the Exchange Request Form must be included in the core return
package. Failure to use proper packaging could result in a “charge back” for the cost of the exchange
unit and shipping.
NOTE: Activation of all subscription based services is the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
NOTE: For the “Audio Out of Warranty Exchange / Repair Program” refer to the Added Security
Section 11.2.10 or Policy Adjustment Section 12.6.1 of the Claims Policies & Procedures on-line
manual.
