Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1151530 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | May 26, 2022 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Subaru |
| Component | Exhaust Gas Reduction Device |
| Production period | October 21, 2020 — April 2022 |
| Vehicles affected | 52,841 units |
Defect
The EGR pressure sensor installed in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system has insufficient resistance to exhaust gas. Corrosion from exhaust gas causes the sensor to produce abnormal output, leading to a warning light illuminating and poor acceleration. In the worst case, the engine may fail to start.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the EGR pressure sensor with a corrected/revised part and reprogram the engine control unit with the corrected/updated software.

状況
排気ガス再循環装置（ＥＧＲ）に搭載したＥＧＲ圧力センサにおいて、排気ガスに対する耐力が不足していたため、排気ガスによる腐食からセンサ出力異常を起こし、警告灯点灯、加速不良に至ることがあり、最悪の場合、エンジンが始動できないおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ＥＧＲ圧力センサを対策品に交換し、エンジンコントロールユニットの制御プログラムを書き換える。
