A stalled engine and/or inability to start or restart the engine may pose a safety risk to the driver and/or other road users. In a worst case scenario this could lead to serious injury or death.

Known owners will be contacted by mail and asked to present their vehicle to their preferred Subaru Retailer for inspection and/or rectification at no charge. Further information can be obtained from the Subaru Customer Relations Team by telephoning 1300 550 994 (Mon-Fri 8am to 8pm AEST; Sat 8.30am to 5pm AEST), emailing feedback@subaru.com.au or visiting https://www.subaru.com.au/recall.
