The closest thing to a engine idle issue was a bulletin released in April 2013 and revised in June 2013. From what I could tell over the phone, the bulletin didn't specifically discuss a Direct Injection issue. It was more of a generic idle issue across all the Subaru cars. It talked about replacing shims in the valves or something. It sounds like this update hasn't been published yet on Subaru of America's end. |

The only formal thing I have seen is that South African memo doc, but it does list the correct calibration file in it.

Just got back from the dealer. Spoke to the master tech directly (whom I've known for a few years) the only reflash available for the car was the themostat recall, which I already had done. I asked about any recalibrations, I even showed him the new software calibration number. It wasn't in his computer. The good news is we bullshitted for a little bit and I was reassured that if something where to happen to my engine that it would be covered. (He knows what I do with it)

Take that with a grain of salt. The dealer in question here wanted to cover Mike's cat failure (not sure if they commented on the engine portion), but SOA's corporate rep declined the claim.

So can anyone confirm there has been a software update for North America? If so, why would they silently update with no TSB since the change was midyear?

I am sitting here in my car right now with the mini-VCI cable hooked up
running techstream. I ran a system health check on the engine. It shows the ZA1JA01C for the ECU calibration. I have a FEB 13 build |
