Official summary

This is to advise that the Subaru Claim System has been updated to accept claims for Emission repairs on vehicles with a salvage title. This coverage applies to all emission repairs within the warranty coverage period. Valid claims for salvage vehicles are Recalls, SAS Maintenance, and Warranty for Emission repairs only. Please make a note of this important system enhancement. Questions may be directed to the Subaru Claims helpline at 1866SUBARU2 (18667822782).

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
