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.

 

EXCHANGE PROCEDURE FOR ALL EXCHANGE COMPONENTS

1)The defective chassis should remain in the vehicle until the exchange unit is installed.

2)  Contact the applicable Service Center with the following information:

    • Retailer Code
    • Retailer Name and Address
    • VIN – All 17 Characters
    • Date of Vehicle Sale
    • Vehicle Mileage
    • Caller’s Name and Telephone Number
    • Claim Number
    • Face Plate ID Number (Clarion only)
    • Subaru Part Number as shown in this bulletin
    • Customer Complaint
    • Customer Last Name

 

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.

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 Audio 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 Supplier 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 Audio/ Navi. Supplier to determine exchange eligibility.

 

Out of Warranty Exchange Program procedures are outlined below.  Please have the following information available when contacting the Service Center.
