Summary
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is initiating this service program for certain 2023 model year Legacy and Outback vehicles equipped with STARLINK® InVehicle Technology.
NUMBER: WRI-22R
DATE: 10/19/22
REVISED: 12/09/22
APPLICABILITY: | 2023 MY Outback |
SUBJECT: | Telematics DCM Replacement |
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is initiating this service program for certain 2023 model year Legacy and Outback vehicles equipped with STARLINK® InVehicle Technology.
REASON FOR THIS SERVICE PROGRAM
The APN (Access Point Name) profile within the telematics data communications module (DCM) software is not applicable for U.S. vehicles. When the DCM cannot connect to the 4G VoLTE network for in-vehicle voice calls, the DCM tries to connect to the 3G network. As a result, since the 3G network is no longer available in the U.S., the attempted call will fail.
In-vehicle voice calling includes Automatic Collision Notification (ACN), SOS Emergency Assistance, and Enhanced Roadside Assistance.
DESCRIPTION OF THE REPAIR
Subaru retailers will replace the telematics DCM at no cost to the customer.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
The number of U.S. vehicles included in this service program is 21,763.
Model Year | Carlines | Production date range |
2023 | Legacy and Outback | July 22, 2022 – September 29, 2022 |
Not all vehicles in the production date range listed above may be included in this service program. Coverage for all affected vehicles must be confirmed by using the Vehicle Coverage Inquiry function on subarunet.com.
RETAILER RESPONSIBILITY
Any vehicles listed in any recall or campaign that are in retailer stock must be:
- Immediately identified
- Tagged or otherwise marked to prevent their delivery or use prior to repair
- Repaired in accordance with the repair procedures outlined in the bulletin
Retailers are to promptly perform the applicable service procedures, to correct all affected vehicles in their inventory (new, used, demo & SSLP). Additionally, whenever a vehicle subject to this service program is taken into inventory or in for service, necessary steps should be taken to ensure the repair has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.
OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners will be notified by first class mail. Retailers will be advised when owner notification is scheduled.
PART INFORMATION:
Part Description | Part Number | Application |
Data Control Module (for Standard Audio) | 86222AN20A | NOT Limited or Touring |
Data Control Module (for Harman Kardon Premium Audio) | 86222AN21A | Limited & Touring Only |
These parts can ONLY be used for vehicles affected by WRI-22. Retailer ordering does not apply.

STEP 5: Remove the two mounting screws securing the lower driver cover. Once removed, pull the cover in a straight direction toward the rear of the vehicle to release the mounting clips.
CAUTION: When removing the lower driver cover, ALWAYS pull the cover in a straight direction. Pulling in a lateral or upward direction may cause damage to the lower driver cover.
CAREFULLY disconnect all electrical connections. Remove the lower driver cover from the vehicle.
STEP 6: Release the steering column lock, adjust the steering wheel to the lowest level and pull it outward to its full extent. Lock the steering in this position. Using a small screwdriver, remove the two mounting screws for the combination meter trim panel. Release the four mounting clips securing the panel. The panel can then be removed.
STEP 7: Release the 7 mounting clips form the driver monitoring unit. Once released, pull the unit toward the rear of the vehicle in a straight direction. Release the electrical connection and remove the unit from the vehicle.
STEP 8: Remove the rubber grip mat from the center tray. Using a screwdriver or suitable tool, release the shift lock and shift the lever into the neutral position.
STEP 9: Detach clamp (A) from the shift knob. Release clip (B) from the shift knob and remove the knob from the lever. ALWAYS maintain proper shift rod alignment when reinstalling (detailed information can be found in the September 2021 TechTIPS article).
STEP 10: Release the center console cover mounting clips and remove the cover with the shift boot/ bezel attached.

STEP 12: Remove the four screws securing the Center Information Display (CID) assembly. Release the mounting clips and CAREFULLY pull the assembly out far enough to disconnect the electrical connections. Once all the connectors are disconnected, the CID assembly can be removed. Use caution when handling, the display can be easily scratched.
STEP 13: Place the CID assembly on a secure flat surface. Disconnect the Data Communication Module (DCM) cable.
STEP 14: Remove the four DCM mounting screws located on the left and right side. The DCM can then be removed.
CAUTION: DO NOT apply any impact to the CID assembly or DCM during this process.
STEP 15: Remove and properly recycle the Lithium-ion back-up battery from the original DCM. Further detail on proper battery recycling and disposal can be found on Subarunet. Refer to: https:// www.subarunet.com/home/communications/view/726115
NOTE: If a GREEN sticker is present, STOP. This vehicle has the latest DCM, and is not affected by the WRI-22 service program.
STEP 16: Read and record the serial number of the replacement DCM. Replace the DCM. Reinstall all parts in the reverse order of removal.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Whenever reconnecting the ground cable terminal to the battery sensor, torque to 7.5Nm (5.5ft.-lbs. or 66inch-lbs.) while supporting the sensor with the other hand as outlined in the applicable Service Manual under: STARTING/CHARGING SYSTSEMS > Battery Sensor.
STEP 17: Perform Telematics Control Module registration of the immobilizer as per TSB 15-24619R.
NOTE: Type G = Key Start models. Type H = Keyless Access with Push Button Start models.
STEP 18: Perform the “Comm Check” procedure and confirm the LED illumination status.
A. Disconnect Subaru Select Monitor (SSM) if connected to the vehicle.
B. Press and hold the i-button for two seconds.
B. Confirm the LED located on the telematics i-button illuminates and observe the result.

D. After reconnecting the Subaru Select Monitor (SSM), read the “Subscription Status” data monitor item in the Telematics system. Verify the stored VIN. Verify the subscription displays “Subscribed” or “Unsubscribed.” Verify the PID matches the results of the initial “Comm Check.”
CAUTION: In rare cases, the data monitor item may display “Comm Check” or “Factory Mode.” This indicates the initial “Comm Check” procedure was unsuccessful. Check the radio wave environment and confirm no DTCs have been stored within the telematics system. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position and confirm the LED turns off. Restart the “Comm Check” procedure and continue.
After successful completion of the “Comm Check” procedure, continue to the following applicable Repair Confirmation Processes.

NUMBER: WRI-22R DATE: 10/19/22 REVISED: 12/09/22 APPLICABILITY: 2023 MY Legacy 2023 MY Outback SUBJECT: Telematics DCM Replacement In the interest of customer satisfaction, Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is initiating this service program for certain 2023 model year Legacy and Outback vehicles equipped with STARLINK® In- Vehicle Technology. REASON FOR THIS SERVICE PROGRAM The APN (Access Point Name) profile within the telematics data communications module (DCM) software is not applicable for U.S. vehicles. When the DCM cannot connect to the 4G VoLTE network for in-vehicle voice calls, the DCM tries to connect to the 3G network. As a result, since the 3G network is no longer available in the U.S., the attempted call will fail. In-vehicle voice calling includes Automatic Collision Notification (ACN), SOS Emergency Assistance, and Enhanced Roadside Assistance. DESCRIPTION OF THE REPAIR Subaru retailers will replace the telematics DCM at no cost to the customer. AFFECTED VEHICLES The number of U.S. vehicles included in this service program is 21,763.
