A Message to Our Valued Owners:


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 has redesigned the engine ignition main relay in order to provide improved cold weather re-starting performance for certain 2015 and 2016 model year Legacy and Outback vehicles.

Under certain extreme cold weather conditions, after the engine is shut off, ice crystals may form inside the relay which may temporarily prevent you from re-starting the vehicle.

In the interest of your continued satisfaction, we would like to replace this relay in your vehicle at no cost to you to avoid any future potential concerns.
