Fitment

Please Note: Gates [11-18 Forester] 4-Cyl. 2.5L Lower Molded Coolant Hose, part 23838 (stored MPN gat23838); legacy title kept verbatim in bracketed form; the stored copy application line '2018-11 Subaru, Forester, 4-Cyl. 2.5 L, Lower' matches the legacy 2011-2018 Forester scope. Stored fitment: 79 entries in the stored fitment list: Subaru Forester 2011-2018, Subaru Crosstrek and XV Crosstrek 2013-2017, Subaru Impreza 2012-2016, and Subaru WRX 2015. FLAG: the stored list is broader than the legacy title (adds Crosstrek, Impreza and a single 2015 WRX year); the title was NOT broadened under the Correction Standard. Notes-only: Subaru applications.
