Campaign Bulletin
The WQG‐43 campaign bulletin is posted on the Techinfo.Subaru.com website under “What’s New”.
Please refer to the bulletin for repair instructions and additional information including claim submission
instructions.
Repair Parts
During the week of June 3rd, dealers located in salt‐belt states will automatically be sent a quantity of two
11‐ounce aerosol cans of rust‐proofing material. Deliveries should be completed by the end of the week.
Each can contains enough material to treat 33 vehicles. It will be necessary for dealers located outside of
affected “salt‐belt” states to order rust‐proofing material as needed.
Additional quantities of the rust‐proofing material are available through the “Genuine Subaru Automotive
Chemical” program. In order to maintain an adequate part supply, SOA requests that Dealers only order
quantities necessary to satisfy anticipated demand.

Owner Notification
Owner notification letters will begin mailing today, May 30, 2013. In addition to notification by mail,
vehicle owners with a valid email address and MySubaru subscribers will be notified electronically on May
31, 2013.
Continued…
Since owner notification will occur just prior to dealers receiving the needed rust‐proofing material, some
customers may contact dealers to schedule appointments before it arrives. In these cases, dealers are
requested to schedule customer service appointments for dates after the material is available.
A copy of the owner notification letters is included at the end of the WQG‐43 campaign bulletin.
