Who knows what they're thinking.. If anything..
It could be this, or it could be that they have just not released a US TSB because there have not been enough reported issues yet. If it is just a reflash, this should be straight forward. There are other 2012 owners who have had their car reflashed to the new calibration via their tuner, and I have not read any reports of issues with their car.

I think this is an odd situation where until there is a TSB the dealer cannot help you. And there is not a TSB because this is not a widespread issue... My guess is that it will take a bunch of folks bringing this issue to the attention to Toyota and Subaru corporate so a formal TSB/bulletin is in the system telling dealers to reflash to the latest cal file.
