PRODUCT CAMPAIGN BULLETIN APPLICABILITY: 2005-2009MY Subaru Legacy/Outback SUBJECT: Brake Line Corrosion NUMBER: WQG-43R DATE: May 2013 REVISED: July 2014 July, 2014: This recall has been superseded to the WQK-47 brake line corrosion recall issued in July, 2014. Please refer to the WQK-47 bulletin for more detail. IMPORTANT NOTE: If the WQG-43 brake line corrosion recall repair was already performed, the WQK-47 recall repair must also be performed to ensure that all affected areas of the brake lines are acceptable and treated with anti-corrosion material as a preventative measure. Any incomplete WQG-43 recall applicability is now expired in SOA’s system. Claims for WQG43 repairs performed after the expiration date will not be processed. Subaru of America, Inc. has determined that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists on certain 2005-2009 model year Subaru Legacy / Outback vehicles currently or formerly registered in at least one of the “salt-belt” states listed below. These vehicles may have been manufactured with brake lines that could, over time, corrode in the area of the fourway joint connector if exposed to salt. Excessive corrosion could eventually cause perforation of a brake line(s) resulting in a brake fluid leak. Should a brake line corrode to the point of developing a perforation, brake fluid will leak from the line(s) causing the related circuit to eventually lose effectiveness. In this situation, there would be an increase in the amount of brake pedal travel distance and foot pressure required to slow or stop the vehicle. This might cause the driver to misjudge the amount of brake pedal travel required to achieve the desired stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash. This recall will involve cleaning, inspecting and testing the brake lines in the area of the fourway joint connector for perforation. If the lines are found to be acceptable, as a preventative measure it will be necessary to apply an anti-rust material to the areas of concern. If any brake lines are found to be leaking, all four will require replacement. AFFECTED VEHICLES Certain 2005-2009 model year Subaru Legacy / Outback vehicles currently or formerly registered in at least one of the following “salt-belt” states and Washington D.C.: Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia Illinois Indiana Iowa Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Missouri New Hampshire New Jersey New York Ohio Pennsylvania Rhode Island Vermont West Virginia Wisconsin Continued...

Bulletin Number: WQG-43R; Revised: July 2014 Page 2 OWNERS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE AFFECTED “SALT-BELT” STATES Notification letters will only be mailed to owners of vehicles that are currently or previously registered in at least one of the “salt-belt” states. However, there are circumstances under which vehicles that were not previously or ever registered in a “salt-belt” state are covered by this recall campaign. These circumstances may include: 1. Vehicles not currently or previously registered in a “salt-belt” state that have relocated into a “salt-belt” area and/or vehicles registered in a “non-salt belt” state, and driven in a “saltbelt” area. We request that dealers located in “salt-belt” states check all vehicles within the affected VIN range for recall coverage. If it is determined that an owner of a vehicle, within the affected VIN range, relocates or uses his or her vehicle in a “salt-belt” area, the dealer should perform the recall procedure. 2. Vehicles in “non-salt belt” states that have experienced the defect. In the unlikely event that an owner in a “non-salt belt” state experiences the defect or otherwise requests the procedure be performed on their vehicle, the dealer should perform the recall procedure. This applies to both “salt-belt” and “non-salt belt” state dealers. The dealer should perform the recall procedure at no cost to the customer. For claim submission, please contact the Warranty Claims Helpline to have the VIN added to the recall. DEALER PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITY Dealers are to promptly perform the applicable service procedures defined in this bulletin to correct all affected vehicles in their inventory (new, used, demo & SSLP). Additionally, whenever a vehicle subject to this recall is taken into dealer new or used inventory, or in the dealership for service, necessary steps should be taken to ensure the recall correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle. New, used, demo or SSLP vehicles listed in a recall/campaign that are in dealer stock must be: • Immediately identified. • Tagged or otherwise marked to prevent their delivery or use prior to inspection and/or repair. • Repaired in accordance with the repair procedures outlined in this Product Campaign Bulletin. Please be advised that it is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle covered by a recall under a sale or lease until the defect is remedied. Therefore, any Authorized Subaru Dealer failing to perform the applicable service procedures as defined in this bulletin to correct all affected vehicles in their inventory (new, used, demo & SSLP) prior to the vehicle being placed in service may be subject to civil penalties of up to $6,000 per violation (i.e., for each vehicle), as provided in 49 CFR §578.6 and will also be in breach of the Subaru Dealer Agreement.

Bulletin Number: WQG-43R; Revised: July 2014 Page 10 OWNER NOTIFICATION LETTER Important Safety Recall Notice Subaru Recall Campaign WQG-43 NHTSA Recall No. 13V-110 May 2013 Dear Subaru Owner: This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in some 2005 - 2009 model year Subaru Legacy and Outback vehicles currently or formerly registered in at least one of the following states: Connecticut Maine New Hampshire Vermont Delaware Maryland New Jersey West Virginia District of Columbia Massachusetts New York Wisconsin Illinois Michigan Ohio Indiana Minnesota Pennsylvania Iowa Missouri Rhode Island DESCRIPTION OF THE SAFETY DEFECT Subaru has determined that your vehicle may have been manufactured with brake lines that could, over time, corrode in the area of the four-way joint connector if exposed to salt. Depending on driving conditions, salt water could splash on the brake lines in the area of the four-way joint connector resulting in corrosion of the lines. Excessive corrosion could eventually cause perforation of a brake line(s) resulting in a brake fluid leak. DESCRIPTION OF THE SAFETY HAZARD Your vehicle has a dual circuit braking system. Each circuit works independently and diagonally across the vehicle. If one circuit of the brake system fails, the other half of the system still works. Should a brake line corrode to the point of developing a perforation, brake fluid will leak from the line(s) causing the related circuit to eventually lose effectiveness. In this situation, there would be an increase in the amount of brake pedal travel distance and foot pressure required to slow or stop the vehicle. This might cause the driver to misjudge the amount of brake pedal travel required to achieve the desired stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash. INSPECTION / REPAIR Subaru will inspect and test the current condition of your vehicle’s brake lines. If they are found to be acceptable, anti-rust material will be applied to the areas of concern as a preventative measure. If any of the lines are found to be unacceptable, they will be replaced and anti-rust material will be applied to the uncoated brake line areas. These repairs will be performed at no cost to you. Continued... Bulletin Number: WQG-43R; Revised: July 2014 Page 11 WHAT YOU SHOULD DO You should immediately contact your Subaru Dealer for an appointment to have the brake lines inspected and repaired as indicated in the “Inspection / Repair” section of this letter. There are several important precautions you should take until this repair has been performed: • If you experience the condition described above while braking, continue to apply steady pressure on the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a stop. Immediately contact your Subaru dealer for assistance. • If you notice fluid leaking from the vehicle, do not operate the vehicle. Immediately contact your Subaru dealer for assistance. • If the brake system warning light remains illuminated on the instrument panel with the parking brake fully released, do not operate the vehicle. Immediately contact your Subaru dealer for assistance. • Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles while driving. The normally recommended minimum distance is one car length of space for every 10 mph of speed. • As a precautionary measure, it is highly recommended that you use extra care while operating the vehicle in confined areas such as parking lots and while parking your vehicle in a garage, car port or other structure. HOW LONG WILL THE REPAIR TAKE? The time to inspect the brake lines and apply anti-rust material is approximately 18 minutes. If it is determined that the brake lines require replacement, the total estimated repair time is 7 hours. However, it may be necessary to leave your vehicle for a longer period of time on the day of your scheduled appointment to allow your dealer flexibility in scheduling. Please present this letter to your Subaru Dealer at the time this repair procedure is performed. IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY PAID FOR A REPAIR If you have already paid for repairs associated with this condition, you may be eligible for reimbursement. Reimbursement consideration will be based on the amount an authorized Subaru dealer in your area would charge for the same repair. Please send the original service repair order, which has the name of the repair facility, date of repair, mileage at the time of repair, complete vehicle identification number (17 digits), and your name, with correct mailing address and telephone number to the address listed below.
