NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 23V723000.
Defect description
Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2024 Forester vehicles. The engine water pipe may have loose attachment bolts, allowing the pipe to lose its seal and leak coolant.
Safety consequence
Leaking coolant can contact a hot exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a fire.
Manufacturer remedy
Subarus independent distributor processing facilities will tighten the water pipe attachment bolts. The affected vehicles have not been delivered to dealers or sold to owners and therefore, no owner notification letters will be sent. Owners may contact Subaru's customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is WRO-23.
