The Hazard!
Subaru of New Zealand has been advised by Fuji Heavy Industries (the Japanese manufacturer of Subaru vehicles) that certain Model Year (MY) 2013-2015 BRZ vehicles may develop a poor electrical connection between the resolver harness and the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the Electric Power Steering (EPS).
This poor electrical connection may cause the vehicle to lose power assistance for the steering. It is important to note that even if power assistance for the steering is lost, the vehicle retains manual steering capability. However, the loss of power steering assistance will increase the steering effort.
Consequently, Subaru of New Zealand has decided to carry out this recall out of an abundance of caution, following notification from FHI. The Recall Rectification Procedure consists of replacement of the resolver harness and EPS ECU.
What to do...
Please contact your Subaru Authorised Dealer and arrange a mutually acceptable appointment to have the Recall Rectification Procedure carried out. This procedure will be carried out free of charge. Time for this is approximately 1 hour for the rectification to take place.
Your local Subaru Authorised Dealer will be able to provide a more accurate time estimate. However, extra time may be required to allow the Dealer flexibility in scheduling. To locate the nearest Subaru Dealer call the number/click on website below.
