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 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. Your have received this notice because our records indicate that you currently own one of these vehicles.

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.

Please contact your Subaru retailer (dealer) for an appointment to have this repair performed at no cost to you.
