Corrections Policy
SubaruReview publishes reference material about Subaru problems, recalls, and repair costs. When we get something wrong, we fix it, date the fix, and (for substantive technical changes) note what changed.
How to report an error
Email editor@subarureview.com with the page URL, the specific sentence or figure that's wrong, and — where possible — a link to a primary source (NHTSA campaign, Subaru TSB, service manual excerpt, or an owner report with photos and part numbers). You can also use the contact form on the About page.
What we treat as a correction
- Wrong part numbers, engine codes, torque specs, or fluid capacities.
- Incorrect model years, VIN ranges, or affected-model lists.
- Misstated NHTSA campaign numbers, recall status, or remedy availability.
- Repair-cost ranges that no longer reflect current parts pricing or representative shop labor rates.
- Misattributed sources, broken source links, or misquoted owner reports.
Response time
The SubaruReview Editorial Team aims to acknowledge correction requests within 3 business days. Verified factual errors are corrected as soon as we can confirm them against a primary source; some updates (for example, catalog part-number changes) can take longer while we verify.
How updates are disclosed
- Every technical, repair-cost, and problem page shows a "Last reviewed" date.
- When a substantive technical claim changes (cost range, affected years, root-cause explanation, recall status), the page's "Last reviewed" date is updated to the date the change was made.
- Typos, formatting, and stylistic edits are corrected without a dated note.
What isn't a correction
Disagreements over recommendations, editorial opinions, or subjective reliability judgments aren't handled through this policy. Those are welcome as feedback but won't necessarily change the article. See Editorial Standards for how we weigh sources and make those calls.
