As in previous models, the procedure will involve either downloading the software update files from Subarunet or using those sent directly from Nuspire to the SDS Notebook and transferring them onto a USB flash drive for head unit installation. It is VERY IMPORTANT to read and understand this information completely before proceeding. A time line chart along with a complete list of all the conditions addressed and enhancements included in this and previous Denso software updates are provided in “Appendix B” and “Appendix C” located at the end of this bulletin. IMPORTANT NOTE: THERE ARE 4 (FOUR) FILES REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THIS UPDATE FOR 2020MY LEGACY AND OUTBACK BUT ONLY 3 (THREE) ARE REQUIRED FOR 2021MY LEGACY AND OUTBACK. ALL UPDATE FILES MUST BE DOWNLOADED TOGETHER TO THE USB FLASH DRIVE BEFORE STARTING THE UPDATE. PERFORMING THIS UPDATE USING A USB FLASH DRIVE WITH ANY OF THE REQUIRED UPDATE FILES MISSING WILL LEAD TO A NON-RECOVERABLE FAILURE OF THE COCKPIT CONTROL MODULE (CCU) REQUIRING CCU REPLACEMENT. 11.6-Inch Display, Mid and High Level Units NOTE: For HIGH (Navigation equipped) and MID level units, see the WRH-20 Recall and WRI-20 Service Campaign Bulletin. Materials Required: Dual 7.0-Inch Display, Base Level Unit Three (3) empty, USB 2.0 or 3.0 storage devices (flash drives) will be needed to perform the update procedure. The devices should be dedicated to storing and transferring these updating files only. They must be a minimum of 16GB or more in size and contain a NTFS file format before downloading the update files onto them. Be sure to locate and re-format any existing USB drives used for updating audio units. They must be fully cleared before adding these new update files to them. Continued...
