What Happened
We're talking about a fuel pump issue in your car. The fuel pump delivers gasoline from the tank to the engine. In your case, the part that connects the fuel line to a rubber hose might be faulty and could leak fuel.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel leaks, and you're driving when it does, there's a small chance a fire could start, which is a serious safety risk.
Free Fix
We'll replace the fuel line for free. A Subaru dealership will take care of this for you, and they'll do it at no cost to you.
