Service bulletin Final Inspection

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

You may have seen media coverage that relates to Subaru Corp. final assembly inspection. The coverage states that Subaru Corp. had allowed uncertified staff to perform final quality checks of finished vehicles at two assembly plants in Gunma Prefecture. Please note that this situation applies to vehicles sold in the Japanese market only and reflects the certification of the inspectors, rather than the process of inspection itself, which is not under question.

Listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned: the document says which.
