SERVICE BULLETIN
APPLICABILITY: 2010-12MY Legacy and Outback Models
NUMBER: 07-91-15
DATE: 06/15/15
SUBJECT:	
Intermittent Wiper Operation with Switch
in Off Position
INTRODUCTION
This bulletin announces a replacement wiper switch assembly to address customer concerns of the
wipers not parking correctly or moving intermittently, even when the control switch is off. Testing
revealed moisture being retained in a composition of soldering flux and grease used during switch
manufacturing may be forced out under extreme high-temperature conditions. If this moisture
causes intermittent continuity between terminals, a circuit may close and power the wiper motor. A
special sealer has been applied to the soldered terminals of the switch’s printed circuit board during
production to prevent this condition from occurring.
PART INFORMATION
The new wiper switch part numbers are 83114AJ04B and 83114AJ05B.
SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION
Follow the procedure outlined in the applicable Service Manual for replacing the wiper switch
assembly. The current procedure remains unchanged.
WARRANTY / CLAIM INFORMATION
For vehicles within the Basic New Car Limited Warranty period or with an active Added Security
Gold Service Agreement, this repair may be claimed using the following information:
