INTRODUCTION:
As part of Subaru’s dedication to customer satisfaction, Subaru
of America, Inc. (SOA) is announcing an extension to the Basic New Car Limited Warranty for the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) Gear Box Assembly for certain 2012-2018 MY vehicles. This will extend coverage under the Basic New Car Limited Warranty on vehicles sold or leased in the United States.
In areas where there are high concentrations of road salt used to melt snow and ice, there is a possibility corrosion may develop on the EPS Gear Box Assembly. If the vehicle were then to suffer a significant enough impact from hitting a pothole or similar road hazard, it is possible the impact could cause a portion of the EPS Gear Box housing to crack.
VERY IMPORTANT: It is very important to understand if this were to occur, there will NOT be a complete loss of steering assist. Instead, it could result in an uneven steering feel when turning left or right.
The EPS Gear Box Assembly Warranty Extension extends the original Basic New Car Limited Warranty as it applies to the EPS Gear Box Assembly only when a crack in the gear box housing is identified. The coverage period extends the vehicle’s Basic New Car Limited Warranty as it applies to the EPS Gear Box Assembly to ten (10) years / unlimited mileage. Repairs performed during this extended coverage period must be completed prior to the expiration of the ten year/ unlimited mileage period.
NOTE: ALWAYS perform a Vehicle Coverage Inquiry on Subarunet to determine eligibility for this warranty extension before proceeding with any inspection or repair. See sample inquiry result below.
IMPORTANT: This Warranty Extension is subject to the same terms and conditions set forth in the Basic New Car Limited Warranty. The Warranty Extension is only applicable to original equipment, Genuine Subaru EPS Gear Box Assembly including a Genuine Subaru
Replacement Part. Aftermarket or used / salvage EPS Gear Box Assemblies are not covered by this Warranty Extension.

Bulletin Number: 04-27-21R; Revised: 07/28/21 Page 1 of 3 SERVICE BULLETIN INTRODUCTION: As part of Subaru’s dedication to customer satisfaction, Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) is announcing an extension to the Basic New Car Limited Warranty for the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) Gear Box Assembly for certain 2012-2018 MY vehicles. This will extend coverage under the Basic New Car Limited Warranty on vehicles sold or leased in the United States. In areas where there are high concentrations of road salt used to melt snow and ice, there is a possibility corrosion may develop on the EPS Gear Box Assembly. If the vehicle were then to suffer a significant enough impact from hitting a pothole or similar road hazard, it is possible the impact could cause a portion of the EPS Gear Box housing to crack. VERY IMPORTANT: It is very important to understand if this were to occur, there will NOT be a complete loss of steering assist. Instead, it could result in an uneven steering feel when turning left or right. The EPS Gear Box Assembly Warranty Extension extends the original Basic New Car Limited Warranty as it applies to the EPS Gear Box Assembly only when a crack in the gear box housing is identified. The coverage period extends the vehicle’s Basic New Car Limited Warranty as it applies to the EPS Gear Box Assembly to ten (10) years / unlimited mileage. Repairs performed during this extended coverage period must be completed prior to the expiration of the ten year/ unlimited mileage period. Continued… 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.

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.
