Update: 2021 Subaru Impreza Recalled Over Crash Hazard
Subaru is recalling Impreza vehicles from the model year 2021 which were manufactured with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) select lever cable nut that may not have been tightened properly, allowing the nut to loosen. “A loose nut can lead to a lot of retention in the CVT select lever cable and the gear selector not functioning properly, increasing the risk of a crash,” NHTSA said. This recall began on Feb.12, 2021.
What’s the Problem?
Subaru of America, Inc., is recalling certain Impreza vehicles over a potentially defective fuel pump which could cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash and serious personal injuries. This recall affects Subaru Impreza cars from the model year 2019, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The low-pressure fuel pump on affected Imprezas may become inoperative, NHTSA said. If the low-pressure fuel pump fails, the engine may stall without the ability to restart the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Subaru is notifying owners and dealers will replace the low-pressure fuel pump, free of charge. This recall began on June 5, 2020.
