spc2125 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 For those of you who hate opening new tabs... http://l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/ATuAgs2vAlrsw37h2kdDug--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Y2g9MzAwO2NyPTE7Y3c9NDUwO2R4PTA7ZHk9MDtmaT11bGNyb3A7aD0zMDA7cT04NTt3PTQ1MA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/Reuters/2013-04-02T134506Z_1_CBRE931127B00_RTROPTP_2_AUSTOS-USA.JPG DETROIT (Reuters) - Subaru of America is recalling about 200,000 Legacy and Outback sedans and wagons from model years 2005-2009 to check for corroded brake lines. Subaru, a division of Japan's Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd, said the vehicles were sold in 20 "salt belt" states, mainly in the Northeast and Midwest, and most were built at its U.S. assembly plant in Lafayette, Indiana. An official recall notice released Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that "salt water could splash on the brake lines through a gap in the fuel tank protector, resulting in excessive corrosion of the brake lines." NHTSA said corrosion could cause brake fluid leakage, which could result in longer vehicle stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash. Subaru on Tuesday said "no reports, accidents, injuries or incidents of failure have occurred." It said the problem was discovered by its Japanese parent during an internal testing program. Subaru in its NHTSA recall filing said vehicle brake lines could be perforated after exposure to salt over seven or more winter seasons. Owners can take their cars to Subaru dealers for a free inspection. Dealers will rustproof the affected area with anti-corrosion wax and, if necessary, replace the brake lines.

Bbc84 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I hope my wagon needs the lines replaced, need a brake service done anyways and free would be even better I wonder which brake lines is it, would it be the ones going to the calipers or the other ones running from front to rear of the car.

Golf4283 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It's the line running along the length of the car between the gas tank and body. They won't replace anything else other than that. And that's only if its really bad. Most likely everyone is getting some free undercoating. Woohoo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that they would still need to bleed the brakes again with new fluid, which is what I need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
