The Hazard!

FHI (manufacturer of Subaru vehicle) has advised that certain 2013 and 2014 Subaru Forester XT models may experience engine related issues such as MIL illumination, misfire, rough running or in extreme cases engine damage or stalling. These vehicles require their ECM (engine control module) to be reprogrammed and in some cases their spark plugs to be replaced.

What to do...

Please contact your Authorised Subaru Dealer as soon as possible to arrange an appointment that is mutually acceptable to have the ECM update carried out.
