So, last year, Subaru extended the warranty for several models with the CVT through MY2015. This last week, Subaru has expanded the CVT extended warranty to 2016-17 MY vehicles.
It's important to note that this is a technical service bulletin - TSB, it is NOT NOT NOT a recall.
While this doesn't expand to the Ascent in any way, I thought I would drop it here because many of us have other Subies or it could potentially be applicable to the Ascent in the future.
Personally, I don't know why they've expanded it, but the Forester and Outback forums are speculating it has to do with the age of the vehicles starting to exceed the manufacturer's warranty in some respects (5y/60k miles) and this provides the customers with peace of mind.
To my point about Subaru being a car company like no other, this shows Subaru will reimburse anyone that has already paid for repairs.
As an owner, I'm curious to see if they do something like specify a fluid change interval going forward to help with whatever they're noticing.
Happy Subaruing,
