• Recall 104770 [USA]: Brake line corrosion may result in brake fluid leakage. fluid leakage may result in longer distances being required to slow or stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
  Subaru of america, inc. (subaru) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 outback and legacy, 2008-2011 impreza and 2008-2014 impreza wrx/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. Salt water could splash on the brake lines through a gap in the fuel tank protector, resulting in excessive corrosion of the brake lines. Note that affected vehicles not currently, or formerly registered, in the salt belt states identified above are eligible for repair, at no cost to the customer, upon request.
  subaru will notify owners, and dealers will test the brake system by depressing the brake pedal and inspecting for brake fluid leaks. If no brake fluid seepage is observed, the affected areas will be rustproofed with anti-corrosion wax. If brake fluid seepage is observed, the brake lines will be replaced followed by rustproofing with anti-corrosion wax. These services will be performed free of charge.

• Recall R/2014/127 [UK]: Brake fluid may leak
  It is possible that corrosion can form on unprotected hidden brake pipes. This could result in the failure of the pipes and loss of brake fluid which can affect the brake system and ultimately cause reduced braking efficiency.
  recall all affected vehicles to inspect and if required replace the subject brake pipes.

• Recall 2020001 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: this recall is for certain vehicles that had an airbag inflator replaced as a part of an earlier recall campaign. This recall provides a final repair. Long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective actions: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the passenger-front airbag inflator. The passenger-front airbag module or inflator will be replaced as necessary. Note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2019191 [Canada]: Electrical
  Issue: a problem with certain replacement ignition switches may allow the key turn out of the “on” position while driving. This could cause the engine to turn off suddenly. It could also cause the airbag system not to work properly in a crash. Note: this is a voluntary service campaign that is not being conducted under the requirements of the motor vehicle safety act. This problem only affects certain parts used for replacement of original parts. Safety risk: a sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. An airbag system that does not work properly in a crash could cause an increased risk of injuries. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the ignition switch, and replace it as necessary.

• Recall 2015599 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the passenger frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will replace airbag inflators. Note: this is an expansion of recall 2015-234.

• Recall 2014223 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, the center and rear brake lines may become perforated due to corrosion. This would cause a leak in the brake system potentially increasing stopping distances, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will inspect vehicles and either apply an anti-corrosion coating to the lines, or replace them as necessary. Note: this recall supersedes recall 2013092. Vehicles that were inspected and/or repaired under the previous recall will require re-inspection and/or repair.

Our car was recalled due to a safety hazard with the passenger side airbag in 2016, so severe that the letter stated that death could occur should the airbag deploys. After an initial appointment, we were told we had to wait about a month for the replacement to be delivered. During this time, we were not able to have a passenger in the front seat. We had to arrange for other transportation on the day that our car was repaired as well as when it was originally inspected for the replacement part. After the work was done, we had to take the car back a third time because in the course of fixing the airbag, the dealership damaged our keyless remote (which they fixed). We lost valuable time from work. Now, less than 3 years later, the same car is being recalled for the same issue: the passenger side airbag posses a safety hazard, this time due to the replacement airbag. We are taking it to a different dealer, but again, the soonest they can get it into the shop is march 11. Again, we are left with a car that cannot transport a front seat passenger for over a month. This time, the dealership is offering a free loaner car on the day that our car will be in the shop, but we are still losing valuable time due to this. This is the third recall on this vehicle since we owned it. The first was a brake line recall.

Car loss power and went into limp mode with a solid check engine light and blinking cruise on the dash. The rpm jumped high with out the gas pedal being pushed down. Vehicle was in motion driving at 25 mph before the aforementioned happened.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 subaru legacy. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle did not decelerate when the brake pedal was depressed. In addition, the brake warning indicator illuminated. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the rear brake line was corroded and leaking brake fluid. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 93,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 subaru legacy. The contact stated that while driving at different slow speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact called the johnson subaru of cary (919-238-6864, located at 5010 old raleigh rd, cary, nc 27511, where it was informed that there was no recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that there was no recall under the vin. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately. 136,000.

This only affect 05-06 legacy gt owners. The up-pipe for the subaru legacy gt in these given years have a catalytic converter in there and after a certain mileage, the debris of the catalytic converter breaking down would shoot back into the turbocharger. That would cause the turbo failure and stall the vehicle unexpectedly. The catalytic converter in the up-pipe does not have any indication of % of wear and most non-car enthusiasts would not know what the issue is caused by except for an expensive turbo replacement and up-pipe replacements. Most of the owners of these issues turn over to catless up-pipe but that would cause the check engine light coming on and overboosting or the engine run rich, further damaging the engine. This can be pretty dangerous if a person is on a road trip and having a long drive as it directly impact the drivability of the vehicle. Subaru has recognize the issue and therefore 07+ turbo models all have a catless up-pipe with the ecu tuned to that specification. I believe it is not fair for 05-06 legacy gt owners to have to suffer from such a critical issue without some sort of compensation or recall. Thank you for your time
