Issue: On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: These small errors do not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. Subaru has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.
Issue: On certain vehicles, the bolts for the rear stabilizer bracket could loosen over time. This may cause a rattling notice from the rear of the vehicle. If you continue to drive with this problem, the bolts could detach. If this happens, vehicle stability could be reduced. Safety Risk: Reduced vehicle stability could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Subaru will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the condition of the bolts on the rear stabilizer bracket, and tighten them, if necessary. If a bolt is missing, the dealer will install a new bolt.
Issue: On certain vehicles, the engine control module (ECM) may have been programmed incorrectly. As a result, the internal temperature of the ignition coils may increase. This could cause a short circuit and a blown fuse. This may result in a sudden loss of engine power with an inability to immediately restart. Note: This recall replaces WUQ-02 (Transport Canada recall 2019-526). Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Subaru will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the ECM if necessary, and replace the ignition coils. On vehicles with ignition coil damage, if a certain trouble code (DTC) is stored, the front exhaust pipe will also be replaced.

The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valves may have been improperly manufactured. Consequently, they could break, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber, leading to a loss of engine power and increasing the risk of accident. Production: 1/1/2017 - 6/8/2018. Types: e1*2007/46*0597* e13*2007/46*1648* e13*2007/46*1648* e13*2007/46*1648*.
The sealing of the brake hoses may be insufficient. As a result, brake fluid may leak onto the road, posing a risk to the following traffic. Production: The affected vehicles were manufactured between 2017 and 2019.. Types: e1*2007/46*0597*, e13*2007/46*1648*, e13*2007/46*1648* (IMPREZA & XV); e13*2007/46*1648* (IMPREZA).
Due to improper Engine Control Module (ECM) programming, the ignition coil may be energized longer than designed after the engine is switched off. If the ignition coil remains energized for a long time, its internal temperature may increase which could cause a short circuit, increasing the risk of electric shock and fire. Production: The affected vehicles were manufactured between 2017 and 2020.. Types: e1*2007/46*0597*, e13*2007/46*1648*, e13*2007/46*1648* (IMPREZA/XV); e13*2007/46*1648* (IMPREZA); e13*2007/46*1305*, e13*2007/46*1998* (FORESTER).
