The short version

Subaru of America, Inc. reported a problem with the automatic transmission control module (tcm/pcm/tecm). Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The transmission hydraulic sensor may inaccurately measure the hydraulic fluid pressure.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the fluid pressure is measured higher than its actual value, the hydraulic pressure will be reduced. If this occurs, the transmission drive chain may not have the proper tension, resulting in a loss of drive power and an increased risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the transmission control unit, free of charge.
