Subaru Recalling Almost 200,000 Vehicles

Subaru is recalling almost 200,000 vehicles to prevent corrosion brake line corrosion due to salt water splashing on the brake lines through a gap in the fuel tank protector.


The remedy is to apply an anti-corrosion wax to the brake line system.
If this remedy isn't applied, the company said it may require longer distances or prevent the vehicle from stopping, increasing the risk of a crash.

The vehicle being recalled are certain model year 2008-2011 Impreza, 2008-2014 WRX and STI, and 2009-2013 Forester vehicles, currently, or formerly, registered in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia that were remedied under recall 14V-311 prior to December 23, 2014.

Subaru will notify owners and dealers.
