The recall covers vehicles sold or currently registered in South Dakota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Minnesota, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, Colorado, Wisconsin, New York, Wyoming, Michigan, Alaska, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.
The cars are being recalled because of a potential fuel leak in the fuel delivery line where the line connects with a rubber hose. During cold starts in extremely cold temperatures, the likelihood of a leak increases. Obviously, given an ignition source, a fuel leak could start a fire.
If you live in a cold weather state not listed — like Illinois — you should contact Subaru to see if you can get included in the fix, as well.
Subaru dealers will replace the fuel line free of charge. Owners may contact Subaru at 800-782-2783 or NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236.
