SURFACE CORROSION 36 MONTH/60,000 KM LIMITED WARRANTY
Subaru Canada, Inc. warrants against surface corrosion to the owner of any 2016 model year Subaru vehicle sold and operated in
Canada for the initial thirty-six (36) months from the original date the vehicle is put into service, or 60,000 km, whichever occurs first.
If the vehicle was used as a dealer demonstrator before being sold at retail, warranty coverage begins on the date the vehicle was put
into demonstrator service.
1. WHAT IS SURFACE CORROSION
Surface corrosion is defined as corrosion affecting the external, readily visible painted body panels. It does not include the vehicle’s
underbody, external damage to paint or plated surfaces, i.e. mouldings, road wheels, bumpers, etc., or corrosion caused by stone chips,
scratches, environmental fall-out, other impact, or physical damage.
2. WHAT IS COVERED
This warranty guarantees that the external readily visible body panels of your new Subaru vehicle’s body will be free from any corrosion
for a period of thirty-six months (36) or 60,000 km from the original date of vehicle being placed into service. If any defect(s) should be
found as a result of perforation or surface corrosion during the coverage period, Subaru Canada, Inc. will repair or replace such defect to
any original body panel(s), provided that you demonstrate adherence to performance of proper care and maintenance of the automobile
as recommended in this booklet and the Owner’s Manual. (Please note that in order to retain full warranty coverage, body panel(s)
replaced due to an accident or damage must be Genuine Subaru Parts, or Subaru approved parts.)
3. MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE’S FINISH
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish and aid in avoiding rust is to keep the vehicle clean by washing frequently. Wash the vehicle
with luke warm or cold water only. Do not wash the vehicle in the direct rays of the sun, or use strong soap or chemical cleaners. Any
cleaning agents used should be washed off promptly and not allowed to dry on the finish.
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys
and other foreign matter may damage the finish if left on the painted surfaces. Prompt washing may not completely remove all these
deposits. Additional cleaners may be needed. When using chemical cleaners developed for this purpose, be sure they are safe for use
on painted surfaces.
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and can develop
into major repair expenses. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your selling Dealer.
If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or replacement, be sure the body shop uses Genuine Subaru
Replacement Parts.
