Summary

This announcement relates to specific 2013 outback 2.5i limited federal specification models (ddf) that include the special appearance package (option 23/35) and are either crystal black (cb2) or satin white pearl (sp2) in color which have been identified as having a pzev badge incorrectly installed on the rear gate. These specific vehicles are federal specification for emissions and not pzev. This is strictly a badge-related exception and does not affect any other aspects of the vehicle. All other vehicle labeling and invoicing is correct. Although we have limited this situation, some of the affected vehicles have and will make it through to the allocated dealer.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 11 complaints in the body category.
