SUBARU IMPREZA MY12 & FORESTER MY12
What the hazard is
If the defect occurs, the consumer may experience rough idling of the vehicle and/or malfunctioning indicator lamps. In the worst case scenario the engine may stall and not restart, although steering and braking capacity will exist until the vehicle comes to a stop. This poses a hazard to the driver and other road users.
What to do
A letter is being sent to affected owners. Contact your local Subaru dealer to arrange for an inspection and rectification if required. For further information, please contact Subaru Australia 1800 22 66 43.
