Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU

Model Year	2010
File date	24/12/12
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Headlights burn out in tandem. The first occurrence was in 2012. It happened again almost exactly one year later. Headlights shouldn't burn out after less than one year of regular use. There are few miles on this vehicle and it does not have excessive use (either night driving or leaving the headlights on during regular use). My mechanic feels this is a sign of a larger issue and it looks like it's fairly widespread. My mechanic also verified with a subaru mechanic there is no difference between bulbs supplied by his shop and a subaru dealership. They are both phillips bulbs.
