Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1143260 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | September 13, 2018 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Subaru |
| Component | Parking brake |
| Production period | April 20, 2009 — September 2014 |
| Vehicles affected | 126,230 units |
Defect
In the electric parking brake control unit, improper handling of the circuit board during parts manufacturing causes some board-mounted components to have insufficient strength. Separately, improper design and manufacturing controls for certain sensor components also result in insufficient strength in those parts. During vehicle service life, these deficient components or sensors may fail, illuminating a warning light. This failure may prevent the electric parking brake from engaging, or may cause unintended momentary parking brake activation at low speeds.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the electric parking brake unit with the corrected part.
