INTRODUCTION

The last paragraph of Section 8.4.33.1 (Page 8.4.108) in the CDS Policies and Procedures Manual is amended to read as follows:

"Certain repairs may now be performed to a remanufactured transaxle that has been installed on a vehicle. A District Service Operations Manager authorization is required on all repairs or replacements of remanufactured units. Repairing a remanufactured unit, as opposed to replacing it, is optional and left to the dealer's discretion."

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.
