DECEMBER
2009
- Subaru is recalling
certain model year 2002 and
2003 Impreza WRX vehicles
originally sold in or
currently registered in the
states of South Dakota,
Nebraska, North Dakota,
Minnesota, Idaho, Iowa,
Montana, Colorado,
Wisconsin, New York,
Wyoming, Michigan, Alaska,
New Hampshire, Vermont, and
Maine. During cold starts,
typically under extremely
cold temperatures, fuel
leaks in the fuel delivery
line could occur where the
line connects with a rubber
hose. Fuel leaks, in the
presence of an ignition
source, could result in a
fire. Dealers will replace
the fuel line free of
charge. The recall began on
December 31, 2009. Owners
may contact Subaru at
1-800-782-2783. 09V-468
SEPTEMBER 2008 --
Subaru is recalling 16,715 MY 2007-2008
Legacy sedans and wagons, MY 2008 Impreza
sedans and wagons, and MY 2009 Forester
vehicles. Some vehicles may have the
cylinder head-side oil supply pipe and
turbocharger-side pipe improperly assembled.
Vibration could occur while driving and,
over time, could eventually result in
cracking the pipe which would allow oil to
leak. If leaking oil contacts components
operating at high temperatures, an engine
compartment fire could occur. Dealers will
inspect for cracking or an oil leak at the
oil supply pipe at the cylinder head-side.
An additional bracket will be installed to
increase rigidity of the pipe and the pipe
assembly will be replaced with a modified
part. The recall is expected to begin during
November 2008. 08V460
MARCH 2008 -- Subaru is
recalling 36,791 MY 2002-2003 Impreza
wagons. The stud bolt(s) of the rear gate
stay may have been tightened with
insufficient tightening torque and a gap may
have resulted between the rear gate panel
and stud bolt base. After repeated rear gate
operations (opening and closing), the rear
gate inner panel at the welding nut may
break, which will lead to detachment of the
rear gate stay, and the rear gate dropping
down. In case someone is underneath or near
the rear gate, there is a possibility that a
dropping rear gate panel may hit them
increasing the risk of injuries. Dealers
will inspect to see if there is any gap at
the stud bolt of the rear gate stay
installation. If a gap is found, the stud
bolt will be removed to check for damage to
the welding nut. If the weld nut is cracked,
the rear gate stay will be replaced. The
recall is expected to begin on or before
June 2, 2008. Owners may contact Subaru at
1-800-782-2783. Subaru Recall No. WVD-14.
