Component

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Manufacturer

What Happened
The fuel pump in your vehicle is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. There's a chance that the aftermarket fuel pump installed in your Subaru may leak fuel when the gas tank is full, which can happen if it's near a spark or flame.
Risk if Unfixed
If fuel leaks onto a hot surface, it could catch fire, posing a serious risk to you and others around the vehicle.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new one, at no cost to you. You should schedule this repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
