Subaru recalls 199k defective units in US


(MENAFN) Subaru announced recalling about 199,000 cars and SUVs for a second time to fix rusty brake lines that can leak fluid and cause longer stopping distances, Arab News reported.

The recall covers the 2009-2013 Forester, 2008-2011 Impreza, and the 2008-2014 WRX and WRX-STI models. It affects vehicles in 20 US cold weather states, where salt is used to clear roads in the winter.

Subaru says in documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that salty water can splash on the brake lines through a gap in the fuel tank protector, which can cause rust and leaks.
