rakapur Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Its been REALLY slow at the dealership I work at, haven't been getting shipment of cars we were suppose to. Today i found out why: Subaru has put a "Ship Stoppage" on Legacys, Outbacks, and Foresters. I don't know what is going on with it, our region rep doesn't know what is going on. I will pass along info when I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Most likely a recall coming up. Can also be something that needs to be inspected due to a flaw in the process that makes them want to avoid driving the cars at all until they have been checked.

f1anatic Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Subaru is selling Outbacks and Foresters VERY well. They are not closing shop in North America - but as others suggested - a recall is brewing. Or they have supply chain problems with Japanese parts. They have already adjusted to their perceived market demands by restricting the combination of engines and transmissions you can get in a particular car body - yet they continue to sell. In Chicago I cannot drive somewhere without seeing a 2010+ Outback and a 2009+ Forester for more than 1 minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I wonder if they aren't passing radiation tests?

GEE-OTTO Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Well the Legacy and OB come from Indiana so the real radiation threat would be the WRX and Forester. I imagine since Toyota just recalled 500K cars that has something to do with this. Oh well fewer supply with the present demand equals more $$$ those bastards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Not entirely, no. It's unlikely, but possible.

rakapur Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Oh and I kinda see it as unlikely that there would be a recall as they only stopped shipping not sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Sometimes when that happens it is because a certain part is missing during assembly and they just wait for the part to arrive and then they do a massive job mounting that part. Works fine if it's some simple part like dashboard trim and similar stuff - just continue to build cars but put them on a huge parking lot until they are complete.

dmanaenk Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Could be Thailand-flood related. All those OEMs on lower levels could be sourcing parts from there and not producing atm. If radiation tests were an issue - we would've heard about it. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RailKill Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 When I ordered my car in July, I was told that it would be a little bit longer than usual because the parts that came from Japan were delayed because of everything going on over there. Not sure if they were BS'ing me but thats what I was told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakapur Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Clarification its only leg and outbacks correction, it is the new Impreza NOT the Forester finally Subaru said something, still don't know what. Might be the CVT tranny but the Impreza uses a different CVT then the Outback and Legacylegacy:outback:impreza.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The B4 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 correction, it is the new Impreza NOT the Forester finally Subaru said something, still don't know what. Might be the CVT tranny but the Impreza uses a different CVT then the Outback and Legacy Doubt it's transmission since it looks like it affects the model which would include the MT variants.
