Symptoms / what can happen

Leaking coolant can contact a hot exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a fire.

Cause

The fix, in plain English

Safety recall work is done free by a franchised dealer. Official remedy: Subaru’s independent distributor processing facilities will tighten the water pipe attachment bolts. The affected vehicles have not been delivered to dealers or sold to owners and therefore, no owner notification letters will be sent. Owners may contact Subaru's customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is WRO-23.

Difficulty

Not DIY: recall remedies are performed by a franchised dealer.
