Subaru Wrx Fuel System, Gasoline Delivery Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings Safety Report | Jan 05, 2004
Reported on Jan 05, 2004
| IN COLD WEATHER, BELOW 20 FAHRENHEIT, I EXPERIENCE A SEVERE RAW GASOLINE ODOR FROM THE VENTS AT IDLE. THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG UNDER THE HOOD AS WELL. SUBARU HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE ADDRESSING THE LEAKING GASOLINE WITH A NEW FUEL PIPE AND HOSES. MY DEALER AGREED TO APPLY THE BULLETIN WITH NO CHARGE AS GOOD FAITH EVEN THOUGH MY MILEAGE IS OUT OF THE 3YR/36K WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS LEAKING GASOLINE IN THE ENGINE BAY IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SUBARU NEEDS TO STEP UP AND PROPERLY ADDRESS THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD. *LA | |
