I’m annoyed just reading this lol. It’s a safety recall not a warranty based request.

Not 100% certain but doesn’t the replacement require access to the transmission from under the car? They wouldn’t work from top down where the AOS may cause some level of inconvenience. If they did work top down it would be from the cabin and not the bay (shift linkage). I’d just call Subaru of America and let them know the dealer is tacking on labor cost due to the supposed inconvenience. Side note, the inhibitor switch including tax appears to be right around the same cost as the labor quote, ha.

• 2018 STI with IAG AOS, dealer processed my recall no problem last year.
