Glad you've got a non burner..touch wood. Trouble is I have to drive to Saskatchewan for two weeks on Sunday. I'm going to be pissing a few people off by varying my speed all day long. Good thing...when I get back it'll be broken in.

Sorry pegleg, not exactly sure of your meaning. I believe you're saying that a 2010 is the same as the 2009 and that the same problem may exist??? If so, it seems the affected build dates were 07/08 and 08/08. My question is whether or not a more recent build date is generally considered to be ok.

or if you use SQL (or other coding): 2010 != 2009 2010 <> 2009 Stating it in a more obvious way, your car is not affected so don't worry about it. |

Yeah. Not trying to be a dick or anything, but so many people comment and ask questions if certain build dates are affected and whatnot, instead of just reading a few posts to find out what happened.

Yikes, none of these engine failures had any mods? Thats a lot of stock WRX's out there. My build date is 09-08, how can one find out if they were built in the early part of the month or the later?

Sorry to hear about that. Subaru of Gwinett did a great job as far as customer service. Sent them some receipts of my oil purhases and they filed some stuff with SOA and i was good win a new longblock. One that was received. They ran some turbo test, but then i needed a new turbo. Got that, then they ran the car for about 100 miles and then got my car back. I hope u get urs squared away. It always sucks to be wihoout ur car. |

Check your vin number and compare to the list, see if it's lower then the the highest vin# on there. Should give you a good idea. |

Newer Tacos has frame rot issues as well, do some research. Not a day goes by where I don't miss my Taco but Toyota needs to figure some things out before I go back to them. Until then I'll just worry about replacing engines, not frames Lol. |

You should be fine. I'm a 5055xx with a Sept. 13th build date. I asked when I bought the car a year and a half ago as I knew there were problems. I should be fine as well but you never know. 16k and climbing . . .

I know that we've determined this issue was resolved for MY2010, I was just curious if there's anyone out there with a 2010 WRX that's been a victim such as those in this thread?

I think he may have left an 'X' off of there, which would put him around 1000 cars after you and is well after the highest number reported failure on this website.

This does not apply to STIs, only July and august 08 WRXs.
