Subaru has officially issued two global recalls for vehicles which may be fitted with defective valve springs or multi-info instrument cluster displays. Motor Image confirms it will notify affected customers in Malaysia about the recall, and will replace the parts free of charge.
In the case of potentially defective valve springs, vehicles manufactured from January 16, 2012 to May 14, 2013 are affected. These include models powered by either the FA20 or FB20 boxer engines – 2013 MY BRZ, 2013-2014 MY Legacy/Outback, 2012-2014 MY Forester and 2012-2014 MY Impreza/XV.
As explained, the valve springs in affected engines could fracture at high loads, leading to issues such as the engine stalling, abnormal engine noise and the inability to restart the engine. Replacing the valve springs is a necessary precautionary measure to prevent such a possibility.
As for the matter involving multi-info displays, Subaru says a programming issue may cause inaccurate data relating to the vehicle’s remaining fuel and range, being shown on the display. This recall affects the 2018 MY Legacy/Outback vehicles made before August 1, 2018.

Recond Subaru BRZ affected too ?
I heard 98% of Subaru sold 10 years ago still on the road. Yea, that was the quality 10 years ago
Subarus are so expensip, owners cannot unable to change their cars so often, therefore kept using them until now.
Subaru cars are superb. I own a Subaru Forester. I tell you, it is better than CRV
Subaru Forester by ETCM and CRV by DRB
According to basher logic, CRV sales > Forester sales so means CRV is better car than Forester wor…
quite right. i recall a certain wretched YB that likes squealing such logic around….
Bro, he change name few time after that. But can easily smell the crap he leaves in every comment.
Subaru is the best ride and handling also performance car brand of Japan, way ahead of Mazda.
Should be like Proton, very few recalls in the past 30 years compared with other car companies. Either they are lying or their car is super good. Don’t know which one.
But then better than Perodua. Never ever had a recall even when got brake disc problems, axle detachment, faulty electronics, & paper thin flimsy body.
Their car is super good. Even Japan didnt miss the chance to buy Proton Satria Neos ..
Big job to open up the engine and change all the valve springs (2 banks for the boxer engine). Car might be out of service for 2 weeks. Hopefully they will put back together everything again correctly.
There will be SST for this job and the flat rate given by japan is not even 15 hours so expect job done within a week
Japanese quality is going down the drain while Chinese like Geely are improving leaps and bounds. Japan has a lot to learn from China.
Jepunis quality? HAHAHAHAHA!
Better than vw la, sell defective cars and deny everything, faulty pistons rings, faulty dsg, fault all day long..japs at least have the decency to recall despite it only being a potential fault.
What about the GT86? It should have the same engine…
Toyota mah! Best quality brand in the world lor! Their fanboi says Toyota quality is solid, no problem wan!
