2 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2016

In a 2015 Subaru wrx with a 6-speed manual transmission purchased 03/2015 and delivered to purchase dealer 04/2015. Reported to Subaru dealer 02/19/2016 a rough idle with engine rpms recorded between 400 and 1k. Rough idle tripped a check engine light after fueling and cruise control light began flashing. Diagnostic code p0420 reported a fault in catalytic converter. Software update to computer performed resolved issue temporarily. 04/10/2016 at 9. 7k miles rough idle issue returned rpms of 400 to 1k again after fueling. In neutral 30-60 seconds after starting vehicle stalled at fuel station. Upon re-starting vehicle check engine, flashing cruise control, abs, hill-start assist, and traction control faults tripped. Vehicle behavior similar to NHTSA recall 16v-162 where NHTSA noted 'due to the use of incorrect material for a portion of the engine turbocharger air intact duct crack, the engine may develop a rough idle, reduced power, and possibly stall'. Complainant believes recall may need to be expanded to include a wider range of vins before listed production dates in recall order.
