Subaru has issued a recall affecting over 13,000 vehicles in Canada because of a faulty fuel pump that could cause the engine to stall.

What’s the problem?

If cracks form in the fuel pump, it could cause it to fail and reduce power, preventing the engine from starting or stall it while running. Subaru says there are warning signs that could potentially clue drivers in on the issue before the engine actually stalls. It may shake or make loud noises, and possibly trigger the Check Engine Light on the instrument cluster. The ignition may not even start the vehicle, in some cases. 

Subaru hasn’t reported any specific incidents or injuries related to the defect in these models. 

What’s the fix?

Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel pump with one that has been redesigned to address the issue. The repair will be done free of charge.

What do you do?

Subaru will begin notifying affected owners starting June 5 by mail with instructions on next steps.
