Subaru Corrosion Recall - 2nd time
Recall for DC and Maryland. How come no recall in Virginia?
As quoted below: This past summer, Subaru issued a recall for some 660,000 of its vehicles over a problem stemming from salt from the road corroding brake lines. It was the second such recall the company had issued, and now it's issuing another. Under this latest recall, Subaru is bringing in 198,900 vehicles that were already covered under the previous recall to fix the same issue. This time around, the notice is issued for the 2008-11 Impreza, 2008-14 WRX and STI, and the 2009-13 Forester – specifically those registered (currently or formerly) in 20 states that use salt on their roads: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin, plus the District of Columbia.

There's a notice on pgs 3/4 that more or less says you can get it if you're not in an affected state and drive in affected states. I'm expecting you'll need to call Subaru to have it authorized first. I tried to get it done in NJ, but since the recall wasn't active for my VIN, I couldn't get it done. (I'd thought/hoped that with it first being for sale in OH, and having a temporary WV registration, that would have triggered it, but it didn't.)
I'll have to find the document I was looking at, and post a link to it. Here it is: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs...V311-5454P.PDF Quote:

Thanks - ikimashokie - this was helpful.
Not too concerned about brake line corrosion (knocks on wood). Just wondering why VA was excluded since we use salt on our roads. I guess they decided to just do everything north of the mason dixon line. |

Well, at least something good comes of registering my car to PA.

I was curious why VA was excluded as well. I vaguely recall during the previous recall update that someone mentioned that VA doesn't use the kind of salt that causes corrosion(?), but here on their page they say they primarily use salt.
I figure if SOA is as great as everyone seems to say, it shouldn't be too troublesome to have the recall activated. |

But I was surprised as well that VA was not included in the recall. I was up in Fairfax yesterday and the roads were covered in salty dust just from the 2 inches of snow that fell. Not happy to be covering my week-old car with salt |

I had my '09 Impreza checked at a dealer in Vermont for the brake line corrosion recall.
They said it looked ok, so they didn't do anything. I bought the car in Connecticut, but now I'm in California. Was the dealer in Vermont supposed to do the recall repair anyway? Should a dealer in California do it? Does it depend on if it "needs it" or should they do it anyway? |
