In the interest of customer satisfaction, Subaru of America, Inc. is initiating a service program for certain 2017 model year Forester non?Turbo vehicles with CVT. Description: The CVT fluid in affected vehicles was not filled to the proper specified level at the factory. The condition could cause a noticeable air vacuum noise or possibly even chain slip under high levels of shock load depending upon driving conditions (i.e. rapid acceleration or hill climbing). Extended driving under this low?fill condition is not recommended.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10120982-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10120982-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10120982","components":[{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null},{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"SUBARU","model":"FORESTER","year_from":2017,"year_to":2017,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2017_subaru_forester"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
