Subaru has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2007 through 2008 Legacy Sedan and Wagon, 2008 Impreza Sedan and Wagon, and 2009 Forester. They stated that some vehicles may have may have the cylinder head side oil supply pipe and turbocharger side pipe improperly assembled.
Vibration would occur while driving, and over time could eventually result in cracking the pipe, which would allow oil to leak. If leaking oil contacts components operating at high temperatures, an engine compartment fire could occur.
Dealers will inspect for cracking or an oil leak at the oil supply pipe at the cylinder head side. An additional bracket will be installed to increase rigidity of the pipe and the pipe assembly will be replaced with a modified part. The recall is expected to begin during November 2008. Owners may contact Subaru at 1-800-782-2783.
