Service bulletins for the 2003 Subaru Legacy

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.

208 on file from NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19.

On Friday, February 12, 2016 initial owner notification letters will be mailed to the current owners of non?HAH vehicles. Non?HAH vehicles have not had any registration history in the high absolute humidity areas.
