2018 Recall for Head Unit Reprogram (BRZ, Legacy, Outback)
 

Just saw a notification in the MySubaru app. Looks like there might be an issue with the head unit not booting which will cause the backup camera to not display. The fix is a head unit reprogram. Has anyone here ever had theirs reprogrammed? I'm wondering how much time I'll have to commit to sitting at the dealership.

Doubt it's an actual recall but I haven't looked yet. Budget about 45-60 min for a head unit update.

The time it takes for a head job, depends upon your age - :iono:







Who let humfrz out of his room again ??

Got my email too, I'll be calling tomorrow since I'm due for my first oil change as well. Here's hoping these guys know what they're doing.

I had my '18 updated today when I had the oil changed. I meant to look at the software version on my HU before the update so I could verify it changed. Totally forgot, but after the update it shows Version: Rel_U0.18.43.20

Didn't really notice any changes. I would like to know if that is the most current software version if anyone has that info.

I have mine WiFi into my home network. every time it is in the garage it checks for an update. Has downloaded 2 automatically. Software version as of now is REL2-17-43-40. It states the SW is up to date. Is there another version the dealer can load?

This update is part of a safety recall related to the backup camera, so I'm not sure if you with get it over the air. I suspect that you have to go to the dealer for this one. They probably need to track which cars get it. Don't know for sure but just guessing that might be the case.

I took my 2018 tS in for that recall and now I feel like my aspect ratio is a bit off only when using CarPlay. The image appears slightly squished horizontally. Starlink apps and stuff are not affected, just CarPlay.
Has anyone else noticed this in their car?
