2007 SUBARU LEGACY Recalls (5)

Campaign:
08V460000 on 09/10/2008
Component:
Engine and engine cooling:engine
Manufactured:
06/11/2006 - 01/16/2008
Affected:
16,715
Defect:
Subaru is recalling 16,715 my 2007-2008 legacy sedans and wagons, my 2008 impreza sedans and wagons, and my 2009 forester vehicles. some vehicles may have the cylinder head-side oil supply pipe and turbocharger-side pipe improperly assembled.
Consequence:
Vibration would occur while driving and, over time, could eventually result in cracking the pipe which would allow oil to leak. if leaking oil contacts components operating at high temperatures, an engine compartment fire could occur.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect for cracking or an oil leak at the oil supply pipe at the cylinder head-side. an additional bracket will be installed to increase rigidity of the pipe and the pipe assembly will be replaced with a modified part. the recall began on october 20, 2008. owners may contact subaru at 1-800-782-2783.
Notes:
Subaru recall no. wvf-16.customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Manufactured:
05/31/2006 - 03/30/2007
Affected:

Defect:
Subaru is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 outback and legacy vehicles manufactured from december 2003, through april 2009 and currently, or formerly, registered in connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin and the district of columbia. salt water could splash on the brake lines through a gap in the fuel tank protector, resulting in excessive corrosion of the brake lines.
Consequence:
Brake line corrosion may result in brake fluid leakage. fluid leakage may result in longer distances being required to slow or stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles. if no brake fluid seepage is observed, the affected area will be rustproofed with anti-corrosion wax. if brake fluid seepage is observed, the brake lines will be replaced followed by rustproofing with anti-corrosion wax. these services will be performed free of charge. the recall began on may 30, 2013. owners may contact subaru at 1-800-782-2783. subaru's recall campaign number is wqg-43.

Consequence:
Brake line corrosion may result in brake fluid leakage. fluid leakage may result in longer distances being required to slow or stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will test the brake system by depressing the brake pedal and inspecting for brake fluid leaks. if no brake fluid seepage is observed, the affected areas will be rustproofed with anti-corrosion wax. if brake fluid seepage is observed, the brake lines will be replaced followed by rustproofing with anti-corrosion wax. these services will be performed free of charge. the recall began july 2014 and second notifications will run through november 2014. owners may contact subaru at 1-800-782-2783. subaru's recall campaign number is wqk-47. note: this recall supersedes recall 13v-110 which applied to certain 2005-2009 legacy/outback vehicles. vehicles that were remedied under the previous campaign still need additional areas rust-proofed.
