11.2.10 AUDIO COMPONENT OUT-OF-WARRANTY EXCHANGE/REPAIR PROGRAM

Vehicles outside the terms of the New Car Basic or Parts Warranties may utilize the Audio Exchange/Repair Program which is to be referenced as an "Out-of Warranty Exchange Program". Subaru Added Security Gold Plus customers are entitled to this "out-of-warranty" exchange program when the failure meets the terms of the Agreement.

The out-of-warranty exchange program is intended to enhance customer satisfaction by providing a prompt exchange with a quality factory serviced audio unit which has been refurbished to the highest standards.

All out-of-warranty orders will be subject to availability. In case of low stock, "in-warranty" orders will take priority over "out-of-warranty" orders. In general, this program is for internal failures and does not include exchanges for damage (spilled liquid, scratches, etc.) Speak with the manufacturer to determine exchange eligibility.
