Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Subaru is recalling certain 2005-2009 Legacy and Outback models, 2008-2011 Impreza models, 2008-2014 Impreza WRX/STI models, and 2009-2013 Forester vehicles primarily registered in salt belt states from Connecticut to Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. The brake lines in these vehicles may corrode due to salt water splashing through a gap in the fuel tank protector, which could cause brake fluid to leak and make it harder for the vehicle to stop.
Subaru dealers will inspect the brake system by depressing the brake pedal and checking for leaks. If no leakage is found, dealers will apply anti-corrosion wax to affected areas at no cost. If brake fluid seepage is detected, the brake lines will be replaced and then treated with anti-corrosion wax, also at no cost. Owners can contact Subaru at 1-800-782-2783 for more information using recall campaign number WQK-47. The record notes that vehicles previously repaired under an earlier campaign (13V-110) still need additional rust-proofing in other areas.

Brake line corrosion may result in brake fluid leakage. Fluid leakage may result in longer distances being required to slow or stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will test the brake system by depressing the brake pedal and inspecting for brake fluid leaks. If no brake fluid seepage is observed, the affected areas will be rustproofed with anti-corrosion wax. If brake fluid seepage is observed, the brake lines will be replaced followed by rustproofing with anti-corrosion wax. These services will be performed free of charge. The recall began July 2014 and second notifications will run through November 2014. Owners may contact Subaru at 1-800-782-2783. Subaru's recall campaign number is WQK-47. Note: This recall supersedes recall 13V-110 which applied to certain 2005-2009 Legacy/Outback vehicles. Vehicles that were remedied under the previous campaign still need additional areas rust-proofed.
