Subaru: 2001 Forester O2 sensor help

I beleive the O2 sensor is covered by the emissions warantee, which goes to
50 or 60 K. Contact the dealer.

You have a 50k mi powertrain warranty...that being an engine component
as well as an emissions system component, are you sure it's not under
warranty?

Subaru had a recall on Foresters about that year. My 2000 Forester had the
front O2 sensor replaced under that recall. Contact www.subaru.com with your
VIN number to check.

It it listed in my warrenty manual as a component still covered by a
California Emissions warrenty. The dealer claimed this did not apply
to me, but I have not had the chance to call Subaru directly (the
dealer told me he spoke with Subaru). I feel like I am getting the
runaround here with this. I mean, why would a part be covered if I
lived in California only?

Thanks!

The link you gave pretty clearly points out that the O2 sensor is only
covered under 2yrs/24K miles.

The 3 items under the 8yr/80K miles are the OBD, ECU and catalytic
converter.

I think he's on the hook for this one.

Sorry for the confusion. I skimmed through it too fast.


 

No problem. Actually, there may well be a more 'stringent' calif. law.
Plus, that link may help a co-worker with his car - thanx for posting it.
