Service bulletin 11-165-16

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

VECI Label Reference During State Emission Test- Subaru of America, Inc. has determined that there is a typographical error on the underhood VECI label for Subaru Legacy 2.5GT 6MT models with turbo engine. The incorrect label identifies the vehicle being equipped with secondary ?AIR.? The vehicles were correctly built without secondary AIR. The typographical error has no impact on emission performance or drivability. The remainder of the 2010 model year Subaru VECI label is correct.
