Due to the severity of the industry -wide takata recall situation, it is very important that all subaru retailers ensure that recalled vehicles are repaired as soon as possible.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
