Filing in context
The Engine (Other) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 4 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 2 Subaru notifications from 2011 in this archive. For scale, 483 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 3 years and 8 months.
Defect
On the engine's vibration-damping crankshaft pulley, a manufacturing process defect caused the adhesive bond on the vibration-damping rubber to detach during service. This allows the pulley's outer ring to spin freely, disabling the alternator and stalling the engine.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, remove the crankshaft pulley and the outer ring retention plate, then replace the crankshaft pulley with a corrected part. If contact between the crankshaft pulley and the outer ring retention plate is found during removal, or if damage to the accessory drive belt is observed, also replace the accessory drive belt with a new unit.
