Engine Controls - Hesitation On Acceleration

NUMBER: 11-94-09R
DATE: 01/05/10

APPLICABILITY:
2010MY Legacy and Outback 3.6L, 5AT

SUBJECT:
ECM Reprogramming Files

Introduction
This is to announce that ECM reprogramming files are now available to rectify a "delay" feeling after depressing the gas pedal. The usual customer description is a "hesitation". It is most noticeable when attempting to accelerate after a slow �rolling stop" (very slow speed / not quite fully stopped), and sometimes may be accompanied by a harsh shift as the transmission shifts at the same time of acceleration.

Countermeasure in Production

The new logic was used in production from November 18, 2009.
