Official summary
This bulletin replaces TSB 06-42-12 dated 01/19/12. This bulletin announces a revised procedure and parts change information to follow when replacement of a rear ABS wheel speed sensor is required on a limited number of 2012MY Impreza vehicles which fall within the specific VIN ranges listed below. Design changes were made to the original sensor and the upper rear arm for these vehicles. The sensor harness length has been extended and a retaining bracket added to the rear upper arm to secure the harness and keep it from contacting other related parts.

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.
