Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Subaru is recalling certain 2008-2011 Impreza, 2008-2014 WRX and STI, and 2009-2013 Forester vehicles that were previously repaired under recall 14V-311 before December 23, 2014. These vehicles have brake lines that may corrode due to salt water entering through a gap in the fuel tank protector, which can cause brake fluid to leak and result in longer stopping distances, increasing crash risk.
Subaru will notify owners and dealers will apply an anti-corrosion wax to the four-way joint connector area of the brake line system at no cost. Owners should contact Subaru customer service at 1-800-782-2783 to arrange the service, referencing recall number WQQ-52. Vehicles not currently or formerly registered in salt belt states are also eligible for the free repair if requested.
