The Hazard!

Certain Model Year (MY) 2015 Impreza and XV vehicles equipped with Subaru Lineartronic Transmission (SLT) may sustain damage to the starter motor pinion gear due to an unusual start-up procedure being carried out by the driver. The damage, over time, may lead to pinion gear failure which will cause the engine not to start (or re-start when in Automatic Stop Start mode). Failure of the engine to start or re-start is considered a safety concern.

What to do...

If you are the owner of a potentially affected vehicle, 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.
