INTRODUCTION:

In the interest of customer satisfaction, Subaru of America, Inc. is extending the New Car Basic Warranty coverage for the 12 Volt batteries used in the above listed models and model years beyond the original three (3) years or thirty six thousand miles (36,000), whichever comes first. The extension time and mileage limitations will depend on the battery currently installed in the vehicle and can be referenced below. Please ensure Service Managers and Advisors are familiar with this information and Service Bulletin 07-178-21. Customers have already been notified of this Warranty Extension by mail.

 

WARRANTY EXTENSION:

As part of the battery drain class action settlement, Subaru will extend the existing New Car Basic Warranty for both original equipment and replacement batteries for class vehicles.  The coverage will vary based upon whether the original equipment battery or a replacement battery is being tested. The extension is subject to class vehicles as follows:

  1. FIRST BATTERY / ORIGNALLY EQUIPPED BATTERY REPLACEMENT COVERAGE INCLUDES:
    • 100% of the battery replacement cost up to 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, from the in-service date of the Settlement Class Vehicle.
    • 50% of the battery replacement cost for vehicles that have exceeded 5 years or 60,000 miles for a duration of 3 months from the 9/24/22 settlement notice date, regardless of mileage. This 3 month coverage period will expire on 12/24/22.
  1. SUBSEQUENT BATTERY / PREVIOUSLY REPLACED BATTERY REPLACEMENT COVERAGE INCLUDES:
    • 100% of the battery replacement costs up to five (5) years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, from the in-service date of the Settlement Class Vehicle, regardless of the number of battery replacements the Settlement Class Vehicle has already received.
    • 80% of the battery replacement costs up to seven (7) years or 84,000 miles, whichever comes first, from the in-service date of the Settlement Class Vehicle.
    • 60% of the battery replacement costs up to eight (8) years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, from the in-service date of the Settlement Class Vehicle.

This Warranty Extension will cover battery testing, charging, and/or replacement for a qualifying battery concern. Determination of necessary repair and coverage will be based on results of the retailer’s administration of the Midtronics protocol and proper diagnostic testing. Per the terms of the Settlement, for any of the coverage percentages above that are less than 100%, the remaining portion would be the customer’s responsibility. The portion of the test, charge, and / or battery replacement the customer’s responsibility CANNOT be submitted as Policy Adjustment (PA).

NOTE: Genuine Subaru Replacement Battery pro-rated coverage based upon the battery installation date is separate from this Warranty Extension coverage and in some cases, may provide additional benefit to the customer. Always review both coverages to ensure the customer receives the maximum benefit from whichever is applied.

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION:

AUTHORIZATION  CODES:

Customers who have received notice of this Warranty Extension and are experiencing a qualifying battery concern are required to contact our Settlement Administrator to obtain an authorization number prior to visiting the retailer. ONLY the customer can request an Authorization Code. The Authorization Code provided by the Settlement Administrator is required by a retailer to perform battery diagnostics but does NOT guarantee coverage or battery replacement. Determination of coverage will be made based on the results of the diagnostic test. The alphanumeric code will be all uppercase. See the example below. SBXXX-XXXXX

The Service Advisor must confirm Warranty Extension coverage is potentially available on a vehicle. A retailer should not take any action to test and/or diagnose a battery concern without obtaining a pre-authorization number from the customer.  If the customer does not have a  pre-authorization number, they should be directed to contact the Settlement Administrator before proceeding any further.

 

BATTERY TESTING AND CHARGING:

Please review the battery identification, charging, and testing information provided in Service

Bulletin 07-178-21 prior to performing any battery testing and/or charging. ALWAYS confirm the Midtronics equipment has the latest software available. Confirm either a Subaru OEM or replacement battery is installed and that there are no after-market electronic components or accessories which could result in exclusion of coverage (see examples in the Warranty section of this bulletin).

For situations where Warranty Extension battery testing is required, Technicians should use the In Vehicle Test application on the DSS-5000 and the In Vehicle Test & Charge application on the DCA8000.  Please refer to the Procedure and Outcome tables below.

The DCA-8000 is the preferred equipment to be used for battery testing. In unique cases when a DCA-8000 is not readily available, the DSS-5000 can be used for initial testing. The testing procedure can then be transferred to the DCA-8000 if needed.

The Battery Warranty Extension will require specific testing. New testing software will be added to the Midtronics DCA-8000 and DSS-5000 specifically for these cases under a new application name, Warranty Extension. This new application must to be used in order to properly submit a claim under this program.  The Authorization Code provided by the Settlement Administrator to the customer will be required to start this program using the Midtronics testing equipment.

IMPORTANT: A new Warranty Extension Application is included in the Midtronics software.

 

Procedures and Outcomes:

DSS-5000

Test Result Test Code Test Procedure
Good Battery 21 Digit Test Code No further testing required
Good Recharge Use DCA 21 Digit Test Code Test using DCA
Charge And Retest Use DCA 21 Digit Test Code Test using DCA
Replace Battery 21 Digit Test Code No further testing required

 

DCA-8000

Test Result Test Code Test Procedure
Good Battery 21 Digit Test Code No further testing required
Good Recharge 21 Digit Test Code Allow DCA to continue through the charge procedure
Bad Cell – Replace 21 Digit Test Code No further testing required
Replace Battery 21 Digit Test Code No further testing required

 

DSS-5000 TESTING:

The DSS-5000 can be used for initial testing or testing when charging is not required. The Authorization Code will be needed prior to testing. This code will be requested after the testing equipment is properly connected and the Warranty Extension icon is pressed. If the test requires charging, the DSS-5000 cannot meet the testing requirements as it does not have charging capabilities.

 

Continue with the normal test procedures. The possible test results given from the DSS-5000 are “Good Battery”, “Replace Battery”, or the battery requires a further charge.

 

RESULTS CONCLUDE PASS OR FAIL:

If the DSS-5000 determines the battery requires replacement or does not require replacement, no further testing equipment will be required. A 21-digit Warranty Extension Test Code will be generated and clickable icon will be displayed on the screen ONLY if testing was completed. When pressed, the Warranty Extension Code will be displayed. This code must be retained and attached to the repair order as it will be required for claim submission.

 

RESULTS CONCLUDE FURTHER CHARGING IS NEEDED:

If the DSS-5000 determine charging will be needed for further diagnostic measures, the DCA-8000 will be needed to continue. When test results determine further charging is needed, a transfer  QR code will be displayed on the screen. This code can be used to transfer vehicle information and charging requirements to the DCA-8000.

The following information is encrypted into the QR Code:

  • Battery Information
  • Vehicle Information
  • Authorization Code
  • Test Timestamp
  • Warranty Extension Code (if applicable)
  • Test Index

 

DCA-8000 CHARGING AND TESTING:

1. Carefully connect the testing equipment to the vehicle and press the Warranty Extension icon to continue.

 

2. The Authorization Code or the QR scan code (if testing is started with the DSS-5000) is required at this point. Enter the required information.

 

NOTE: In a case when the QR Code is entered from the DSS-5000, a Warning screen will display to confirm the Authorization Code for the vehicle being tested. Click “Yes” if the code is correct.

 

3. Verify the VIN using the scan tool.

 

NOTE: In a case where the scanner option is unavailable the VIN can be entered by using the manual entry function.

4. Select the battery type being tested. If the “None of the above” button is selected, the Edit Battery Info menu will be displayed requiring manual entry into the required fields.

 

Once the battery information is confirmed and accurately entered, select “Continue” to proceed with the battery testing.

CAUTION: In the event of a test or charge being aborted for any reason, a ten-minute time window is displayed. After ten minutes have elapsed, the test must be restarted from the beginning.

5. The DCA-8000 will display the testing results when complete. A 21-digit Warranty Extension Code will be generated. A Warranty Extension Details clickable icon will be displayed on the screen. When pressed, both the Authorization Code and the Warranty Extension Code are displayed in detail. These codes are to be retained and attached to the repair order and will be required for claim submission.

 

BATTERY REPLACEMENT:

The service procedures for battery replacement remain unchanged. Always refer to the applicable Service Manual and review the full requirements of the repair being performed. The Service Manual procedures contain information critical to performing an effective repair the first time, every time. This includes but is not limited to important SAFETY precautions, proper inspection criteria, necessary special tools, required processes and related one-time-use parts needed for a complete and lasting repair regardless of pass or fail.

Refer to STIS: Engine > STARING/CHARGING SYSTEMS > Battery

 

BATTERY REPLACEMENT NOTES:

  • Refer to the applicable Service Manual and review: General Description > Repair Contents > Action required before & after Battery Disconnect. Additionally, record any stored seat position(s) before proceeding. Relearn any seat position memory after work is complete. If the power rear gate (PRG) height has been customized, that position must also be noted and relearned.
  • NEVER replace an EFB battery with a flooded battery. Use ONLY the battery specified for the vehicle.
  • When testing a new replacement battery, use the After New Battery Install function of either the DSS-5000 or the DCA-8000 to perform the test.
  • When reconnecting the positive battery terminal, torque to 6Nm (2.6ftlbs. or 53.1inch-lbs). When 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.

 

BATTERY CHARGING LOGIC:

In 2017, there were two Technical Service Bulletins released containing information regarding a battery logic -related reflash (TSBs 11-174-17R & 11-176-17). In addition to the Battery Drain Warranty (BDW) Standard & Enhanced Battery Drain Warranty Extension, the vehicles applicable to these Service Bulletins will also have the Battery Drain Reflash (BDR) Warranty Extension applied. If a vehicle comes into a retailer with a pre-authorization for a qualifying battery concern and the vehicle also has the BDR extension, the retailer should verify whether the reflash has already been performed. This can be done by confirming the current ECM logic, either by checking claim history or by using FlashWrite. Appendix A lists CIDs released after the battery charge logic enhancement. If the vehicle’s current logic is listed in Appendix A, reprogramming is NOT required. If the current logic is not listed in Appendix A, the retailer should perform the reflash. This BDR Warranty Extension will cover the reflash 100% for 8 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first from the Warranty Start Date of the vehicle

  • Reprogram the ECM following the normal FlashWrite procedure (if required).

Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) highly recommends connecting either the Subaru Midtronics DCA8000 Dynamic Diagnostic Charging System or the Subaru Midtronics GR8-1100 Diagnostic Battery Charger to the vehicle and utilizing the Power Supply Mode feature anytime a vehicle control module is being reprogrammed. Once the Midtronics charger is connected to the vehicle, if the battery is fully charged, it takes less than three (3) minutes to boot-up the charger, select the Power Supply Mode, and have the battery voltage stabilized and ready for reprogramming.

 

REPROGRAMMING NOTES:

  • IF REPROGRAMMING IS REQUIRED, always note the original Calibration Identification number (CID) the vehicle came in with on the repair order before reprogramming and, make sure to list the NEW CID for any newly-installed programming (as confirmed from the actual control module AFTER installation). The NEW CID MUST also be noted on the repair order as this information is required for entry in the Claims Specific Data area during claim submission.
  • For instructions on using the power supply mode, reference the applicable User Manual for the Midtronics DCA-8000 Dynamic Diagnostic Charging System and the Midtronics GR8-1100 Diagnostic Battery Charger on STIS.
  • Confirm all electrical loads such as lights, audio, HVAC, seat heaters, and rear defroster are all switched OFF before setting up the charger for Power Supply Mode.
  • Select the correct battery type (Flooded, EFB, Gel, AGM or AGM Spiral).
  • Input the CCA which matches the vehicle’s battery. NOTE: OE and replacement batteries have different CCA ratings. Always confirm the battery’s CCA rating before proceeding.
  • If using a DCA-8000 Dynamic Diagnostic Charging System, set the power supply voltage to 13.5 volts.
  • DO NOT connect the DST-i or DST-010 until the Power Supply mode function has completed its battery test mode and the Charging Voltage has dropped to and shows a steady 13.5 Volts on the display.
  • Once Power Supply Mode reaches a steady 13.5 volts, connect the DST-i or DST-010 to the OBD connector and proceed with initiating the normal FlashWrite reprogramming process.
  • Amperage will fluctuate based upon the vehicle’s demand for power. NOTE: If the voltage rises beyond 14V while programming is in process, the procedure will abort. This can indicate a need to test or charge the vehicle battery before any further attempt at programming is made.

REMINDER: If the DCA-8000 or GR8-1100 indicates the vehicle’s battery must be charged, charge the battery fully before proceeding to reprogram the vehicle while using the Power Supply Mode. NOTE: Control module failures resulting from battery discharge during reprogramming are not a matter for warranty. Should any DTCs reset after the reprogramming update is performed, diagnose per the procedure outlined in the applicable Service Manual.

 

VERY IMPORTANT:

This information is applicable to the Subaru Midtronics DCA-8000 Dynamic Diagnostic Charging System and the Subaru Midtronics GR8-1100 Diagnostic Battery Charger ONLY. It does not apply to any other brand / type of “generic” battery charger whatsoever. ONLY the DCA-8000 and the GR81100 and their Power Supply Mode feature have been tested and approved by SOA.

 

Exclusions for Certain Aftermarket Electronic  Components and Owner – Caused Failures

The parties agree that a Class Vehicle with any of the following after-modified electronic components shall be precluded from the benefits of the Settlement Agreement:

  1. Aftermarket audio components including audio systems, equalizers, amplifiers, and subwoofers
  2. Aftermarket remote engine starter or remote keyless entry
  3. Aftermarket security or immobilizer devices
  4. Aftermarket air suspension systems
  5. Aftermarket video entertainment systems.

For purposes of the Settlement Agreement and this exhibit, the term “Aftermarket” shall mean items not installed at a Subaru retailer. If the component or item was installed at a Subaru retailer then it cannot be used as an exclusion under the settlement.

The parties further agree that Class Vehicles shall be precluded from the benefits of the Settlement Agreement where the service records provide evidence that the Settlement Class Member caused the battery issue by (1) leaving vehicle exterior/interior lights on overnight; and or (2) leaving powered devices connected to any vehicle power outlet overnight while the vehicle is not being operated.

NOTE: Salvage or Total loss branded vehicles are NOT eligible for coverage.
