Nice to see Subaru USA is making their customers whole. No word from Subaru UK that I'm aware of.

Just watched MrSubaru's YouTube video on this topic. Looks like a big problem if you're got a model with this TCV fitted. He's saying 2019+ Crosstreks are affected but I'm unsure due to the differences in models between US and UK whether my 2018 XV is affected. Anyone know how to check for sure?

2018 XV. The keyless entry fob is working fine, but I thought I'd try the emergency key anyway, just to make sure it works before it's actually needed. Well, it seems like it doesn't. What happens is, starting with the car locked, I remove the emergency key from the fob, then leave the fob in the steel tin I keep them in overnight (along with the spare). I then go out and try to unlock the car with the key. But I find I can turn it to the right (clockwise) for 45 degrees ish, and I hear a mechanism engage, but the door remains locked. Turning to the left/anticlockwise is not possible. I tried with the spare fob key as well -- same result. What's going on here? Is it broken or am I doing it wrong? Ta.

Can anyone recommend a steering wheel lock that definitely fits a 2018 XV SE 2.0i? Ta
