Reading all the posts here and in the Outback forum has gotten me a bit worried about my CVT. Just yesterday I experienced an extreme dip in RPMs while waiting at a light. I've experienced dips before, but this time it felt like the engine nearly stalled as if I dropped the clutch in a manual. It did recover however, but this is unnervingly similar to what others have experienced.
I sent an email to Subaru Canada about this warranty extension and this is what they sent back:
Dear MasterPeon:
Thank you for taking the time to contact Subaru Canada Inc.
There is no program of this nature in Canada at this time. However, if something is released and it is applicable to your vehicle you will receive a notification via first class mail.

So basically, Canadians don't get this. Lucky Americans!
