WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
You should immediately contact your Subaru Dealer for an appointment to have the brake lines inspected
and repaired as indicated in the “Inspection / Repair” section of this letter.
There are several important precautions you should take until this repair has been performed:
•

If you experience the condition described above while braking, continue to apply steady pressure
on the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a stop. Immediately contact your Subaru dealer for
assistance.

•

If you notice fluid leaking from the vehicle, do not operate the vehicle. Immediately contact your
Subaru dealer for assistance.

•

If the brake system warning light remains illuminated on the instrument panel with the parking
brake fully released, do not operate the vehicle. Immediately contact your Subaru dealer for
assistance.

•

Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles while driving. The normally recommended
minimum distance is one car length of space for every 10 mph of speed.

•

As a precautionary measure, it is highly recommended that you use extra care while operating the
vehicle in confined areas such as parking lots and while parking your vehicle in a garage, car port
or other structure.

HOW LONG WILL THE REPAIR TAKE?
The time to inspect the brake lines and apply anti-rust material is approximately 18 minutes. If it is
determined that the brake lines require replacement, the total estimated repair time is 7 hours. However,
it may be necessary to leave your vehicle for a longer period of time on the day of your scheduled
appointment to allow your dealer flexibility in scheduling. Please present this letter to your Subaru Dealer
at the time this repair procedure is performed.

IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY PAID FOR A REPAIR
If you have already paid for repairs associated with this condition, you may be eligible for reimbursement.
Reimbursement consideration will be based on the amount an authorized Subaru dealer in your area
would charge for the same repair.
Please send the original service repair order, which has the name of the repair facility, date of repair,
