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.
