Yeah, that is useless if you don't continue to post up what models are affected!

That recall involves only Imprezas and Foresters having turbocharged 2.0L engines with AVCS. According to SOA, exactly one vehicle in North America is affected (an Impreza imported into Canada for racing purposes).
http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/prepos/...4F101-7946.pdf Sorry about the poor resolution in that document. If you've done a JDM engine swap, you might want to get a clean/clear copy of that document via NHTSA's Technical Information Services at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/trd. It will cost about $39.50, though. |

Whoops. I spoke too soon. The defect is present in a very few (26) 2004MY 2.5L turbo vehicles in the US. These affected vehicles were used in auto shows and press events.
The details are at: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/prepos/...4V473-8634.pdf |

Where is this bolt? I'm sure the swappers would be interested.
