Official summary
ALL OUTBACKS AND 5-DOOR IMPREZA MODELS ONLY. This bulletin announces a design change of the tonneau cover assembly to address customer concerns of the handle portion coming loose. The handle has been changed to optimize retention and made available as a service part separate from the tonneau cover.
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.
