Greetings all:

 

I have lurked here for a while, we live in the mountains of NW Montana and have a Justy, XT4 turbo project, and a GL wagon. Great snow cars!

 

My question is this: I just bought my wife an 1988 Justy, 4wd MT. There was a recall long ago re: the oil dipstick for the MT. I am led to believe the older dipstick was calibrated such that underfilling was likely, which led to bearing problems with the rear output shaft bearings.

 

How do you identify the newer dipstick replaced by the recall? I am keeping the gearbox slightly overfilled in case I have the old dipstick.

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

Have the VIN checked with a local SUBARU dealer, and if the recall was performed, they will tell you....if not, they will need to perform the recall. The recall does not expire. I've had several justys come in for the exhaust system recall...

Thanks, WJM. I did not realize there was a database which tracked recall work on individual cars.

There is.....
