Service bulletin SSM4
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
"THOSE WITH THE NEW PANASONIC C2 TOUGHBOOK MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT THE NEW SSM4 SOFTWARE HAS BEEN DEPLOYED. THIS WAS DONE IN ADVANCE OF THE LAUNCH OF CERTAIN 2016 SUBARU’S THAT WILL REQUIRE SSM4 SOFTWARE FOR DIAGNOSIS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SSM4 SOFTWARE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED WITH MY 2015 AND PREVIOUS VEHICLES AND WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY IF TRIED. DO NOT CONTACT NUSPIRE OR SUBARU TECHLINE IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE USING SSM4 SOFTWARE ON 2015 OR EARLIER VEHICLES. YOU MAY USE THE DENSO DST-I INTERFACE IN COMBINATION WITH SSMIII SOFTWARE TO COMMUNICATE WITH 2004-2015 SUBARU’S BY CHOOSING THE PROPER INTERFACE WITH THE F10 KEY AND THEN RESTARTING THE APPLICATION."
