INTRODUCTION
Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is initiating a voluntary emissions recall for certain 2021 model year Ascent, Legacy, and Outback vehicles equipped with a 2.4L turbo engine, which may have damaged terminals on the engine wire harness.
REASON FOR THIS VOLUNTARY EMISSIONS RECALL
The affected vehicles may have an EGI (Electronic Gas Injection) harness with a damaged connector body which may also affect a portion of the ground connection pin. The damage was caused at production by a tool used for testing the connector. Damage to the connector may affect the proper operation of the #4 injector by creating a fuel lean condition. As a result, a MIL will illuminate due to this condition and may register certain injector circuit open code (P1264) and misfire detection code (P0304).
REMEDY REPAIR
The EGI harness and ECM will be replaced in the affected models. This voluntary emissions recall will be performed at no cost to the vehicle owner.
RETAILER RESPONSIBILITY:
Any vehicles listed in any recall/campaign that are in retailer stock must be:
Immediately identified
Tagged or otherwise marked to prevent their delivery or use prior to repair
Repaired in accordance with the repair procedures outlined in this bulletin
Retailers are to promptly perform the applicable service procedures, to correct all affected vehicles in their inventory (new, used, demo & SSLP). Additionally, whenever a vehicle subject to this voluntary emissions recall is taken into inventory or in for service, necessary steps should be taken to ensure the repair has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.
OWNER NOTIFICATION
Subaru will notify affected vehicle owners by first class mail in August. Retailers will be advised when the notification will begin.
