My car is scheduled to go in on the 14th. I'm planning on getting DI seals and sparkplugs, but only if the labor isn't crazy. I understand if they want to charge full labor, but I'm not doing it right now if that's the case. Once they give me a quote I'll share as well.

will do, though if the dealer wants to drop the transmission for that I'd imagine its quite an add.

Anyone in toronto booked their appointments yet with Subaru?? Can't decide which dealership to go to. Had terrible experiences at both Maple Subaru and Scarboro Subaru.

Seems like Toyota dealers are ahead of Subaru on this. None of the Subaru dealers have gotten direction on a fix yet so they probably won't take any cars in for the recall.

I ran my VIN on the Subaru website and it popped for the recall and directed me to make an appointment. I scheduled mine for next week since I will be out of town anyways, I'll call the service department tomorrow and see what they say about the whole thing.

try to talk to the manager. Based on what I've heard about Subaru dealers in Ottawa, I'd be surprised if they're ready to go next week for you.

Maybe look into it a bit more, so you don't get into a situation where you are paying the dealer to do something they already have to do. Not saying they would pull this on you, but a lot of dealerships have bad reputations for a reason. |

Our engines have 8 fuel injectors - 4 port injectors and 4 direct injectors. The problem with the Teflon injector shields occurs on the direct injectors. The recall includes O-rings and grommets for the port injectors but not the direct injectors. The Teflon seal (SU003-00322) is not included. From what I can tell, the recall repair doesn't even take the intake manifold off. |

Anyone have the recall completed on their vehicle in the GTA? I'll check with my dealer if they have done any yet, but I definitely don't want my car to be the first guinea pig there

Would love to get a recommendation on a dealership as well in west GTA (Mississauga).
Closest to me is Meadowvale but not sure how good their service is. TIA |

Why would they drop the transmission when then engine is already out? You only remove the transmission normally to do a clutch because that's significantly easier than removing the engine. Once the engine is out, the clutch (and TOB) are easy to do. When mine gets done the clutch, TOB and plugs are being done as well. No point in fighting with any of that later.

Has anyone with a BRZ successfully booked in yet and/or had the repair performed? I received my letter last week as expected, but the letter (as we know) says it is just an initial notification letter, and that they will mail me again to notify me when I should book an appointment. I am also assuming a rental will be covered? I know of a few FR-S that are already booked in and having the work performed already as we speak, but haven't heard of any Subarus yet, so just wondering if I should continue to wait or if Subaru is ready for me to book in? Not sure why there's a difference in timing and preparedness between the 2 brands... Thanks in advance, and good luck to all those affected by this mess!
