Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Subaru is recalling certain 2010-2014 Legacy and Outback vehicles because the windshield wiper motor may overheat if snow or ice buildup prevents the wipers from stopping in their parked position. When the motor overheats, the wipers may fail, reducing driver visibility and increasing crash risk. Additionally, the wiper motor cover may melt, which could increase the risk of fire. The recall affects Legacy vehicles manufactured between November 26, 2008, and June 7, 2013, and Outback vehicles manufactured between January 9, 2009, and June 7, 2013.
If you own an affected vehicle, Subaru will notify you of the recall. Dealers will replace the windshield wiper motor bottom cover assembly at no cost. Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1-800-782-2783 for more information, referencing recall number WTK-71. If your vehicle was previously repaired under recall 11V-469, it will need the wiper motor bottom cover replaced again under this new recall.
