| APPLICABILITY: | 2023 MY Outback |
| SUBJECT: | Telematics DCM Replacement |
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Subaru
of America, Inc. (Subaru

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.

Service Program WRI-22 December 2022 This notice applies to the VIN identified in the address section printed below Dear Subaru
Owner: We would like to thank you for your selection of a Subaru
vehicle. We take pride in our products and are committed to your continued satisfaction. Subaru
of America, Inc. (Subaru) is initiating a service program for certain 2023 model year Legacy and Outback vehicles equipped with SUBARU STARLINK In-Vehicle Technology. You have received this notice because our records indicate that you currently own one of these vehicles. REASON FOR THIS SERVICE PROGRAM The telematics data communications module (DCM) in your vehicle may have an incorrect Access Point Name (APN) profile. When the DCM cannot connect to the 4G network for in-vehicle voice calls, the APN 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, SOS Emergency Assistance, and Enhanced Roadside Assistance. REPAIR Your Subaru retailer (dealer) will replace the telematics DCM in your vehicle at no cost to you. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO Please contact your Subaru retailer for an appointment to have this repair performed. HOW LONG WILL THE REPAIR TAKE? The time to replace the DCM is less than 40 minutes. Your retailer can provide you with a better estimate of the overall time for this service visit, as it may be necessary to make your vehicle available for a longer period of time for scheduling purposes. A subsidiary of SUBARU CORPORATION CHANGED YOUR ADDRESS OR SOLD YOUR SUBARU?

As noted at that time, an issue had been identified affecting the DCM unit on 2023 Legacy and 2023 Outback models. A countermeasure has been identified and SOA has initiated a Service Campaign – now labelled WRI-22 – to repair the 21,763 affected units in the US. Parts Supply & Repair Details Two separate part numbers are involved, 86222AN20A
for standard audio units and 86222AN21A
for premium audio units. Corrected units have begun to be produced at SIA as of the week of October 3rd, and the first parts shipments arrived at SOAโs master distribution center the afternoon of October 11th. This service campaign will entail replacing the current DCM with a new one. โข Replacement DCM units are being shipped to our master distribution center 2-3x per week on pallets which will require separation. โข Single units will be re-packed for individual retailer use (photos follow) and then over-packed for safe shipment to your facing RDC. โข 2-3 days after the facing RDC receives the overpack, they will begin to deliver these units with your daily stock order. โข Retailer orders will be force-allocated by our internal parts team based on each retailerโs individual VIN count of each affected part number. โข After each retailer is allocated an initial supply (a minimum of 1 of each part number), remaining inventory will be allocated via fair share against the remaining outstanding VIN count at each store. โข Based on planned production volumes, it will take a little less than three months to receive enough inventory to repair all the affected units. Details are expected to be posted to STIS and Subarunet on or before October 20th. The expected repair time is 0.6 hours. Once received at your store, each retailer is free to allocate received parts to affected units based on local priorities. SOA will ensure that you receive enough inventory to cover your affected VIN list before the conclusion of the campaign. If you have acquired an affected unit via trade, please contact the original retailer to obtain a part for the affected VIN. Retailer Ordering of 86222AN20A
and 86222AN21A As noted above, all inventory will be force shipped to retailers until the service campaign is complete. Any retailer orders or requests for part release through the PIC line, CAD or Claims line until the campaign is completed will be rejected. Returning Unopened Units Any unopened overage of either part number can be returned to SOA via PIC contact through the normal channels. Once opened, parts are to be consumed at the retailer. FAQโs โข How can I find out if a VIN is affected? o Please check the VIN in the Vehicle Inquiry screen and reference the โOpen Recallโ flag. โข How many of each part number will my store be shipped? o After an initial shipment of a few units, each store will receive a fair share of available parts upon each RDC receipt until they have been allocated enough parts to fulfill the # of VINs they were originally shipped. โข When will customers be notified about WRI-22? o Customer notification will happen at a later date and will be communicated via a separate Subarunet posting. โข How will service know if theyโve put the wrong part in the car? o Part of the SOP for the replacement involves a call-out from the new DCM with a VIN verification. If the wrong DCM is installed, the call-out function will not work due to the mismatched part. We appreciate everyoneโs continue patience as the flow of these updated DCMโs is established, and weโre looking forward to getting them out to you as quickly as we can. Please direct any questions to your District Parts and Service Manager or Zone Retailer Aftersales Manager. Oct 11th photos @ LRC Individual units: Bulk pack:

Returning Unopened Units Any unopened overage of either part number can be returned to SOA via PIC contact through the normal channels. Once opened, parts are to be consumed at the retailer. FAQโs โข Since this is a service campaign, and not a recall, should retailers deliver and/or RDR a unit covered by WRI-22? o SOA does not want retailers to deliver or RDR a unit covered by WRI-22 since parts will begin to be available shortly. โข As a Service Campaign, will the โRecall Statusโ flag in Subarunet be set to โOpen Recall/Campaignโ? o Yes, the โRecall Statusโ field will display โOpen Recall/Campaignโ after the affected VINs are loaded for this campaign. Sample images of the campaign notice are below. โข When will the โOpen Recall/Campaignโ field be updated? o We expect the Open Recall/Campaignโ field to be updated on or before October 20th. โข How can we tell if a specific VIN is included in this service campaign? o Please use the Vehicle Inquiry on Subarunet and check the โCoverages โ Recalls, Service Programs, Warranty, and SASโ section for WRI22 Service Program coverage. โข How many of each part number will my store be shipped? o After an initial shipment of a single unit of each part number, each store will receive a fair share of available parts upon each RDC receipt until they have been allocated enough parts to fulfill the # of VINs they were originally shipped. โข What does โfair shareโ mean for how the parts will be allocated by retailer? o Fair share is being calculated as the % of affected VINs by retailer. We are using that percentage to load our RDCโs from inventory available at the master warehouse, and then that % is used to create sales orders by retailer from their facing RDC. Each part number is being managed separately. o For example: if a retailer has 2% of the affected VINs, they will be allocated 2% of the available inventory rounded to a single unit. This means that if a retailer has a total need for 2 (two) of an individual part, the initial shipment of one (1) unit will get them to 50% of their total need immediately. They would not see a 2nd part until SOA has received approximately 50% of total parts needed. It is expected that it will require multiple shipments for each retailer to receive their total part need. Subaru of America, Inc. One Subaru Drive Camden, NJ 08103 856-488-8500 www.subaru.com โข Where can a retailer see what parts have been allocated to them? o Orders and shipments will be visible in RPM once entered by SOA, so retailers will have some notice of the parts and quantity contained in your next receipt. โข When will customers be notified about WRI-22? o Customer notification will happen at a later date and will be communicated via a separate Subarunet posting. โข How will service know if theyโve put the wrong part in the car? o Part of the SOP for the replacement involves a call-out from the new DCM with a VIN verification. If the wrong DCM is installed, the call-out function will not work due to the mismatched part.
