Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1106772 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | October 10, 2000 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Subaru |
| Component | Engine (General) |
| Production period | October 1998 — April 2000 |
| Vehicles affected | 85,810 units |
Defect
On manual transmission vehicles equipped with a clutch-pedal-bypass engine start system, internal components of the starter contain machining defects that can cause the ignition key to return sluggishly after engine start. Continued use in this condition may blow the fuse and, in the worst case, cause the engine to stall and prevent restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, apply lubricant to the key insertion point of the affected unit and replace the ignition switch with a non-defective part.
