Details

What's wrong: The affected fuel pumps were sold or installed into the aftermarket applications on or after July 26, 2013, and may may leak fuel from the base of a fuel line connection when the gas tank is full.

Why it matters: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

The fix: Airtex will notify owners, and will replace the fuel pump, free of charge. Recall is expected to begin on January 2, 2014. Customers may contact airtex at 1-800-880-3056. The recall is expected to begin during January 2014. This recall is being conducted by airtex, not by Subaru.
