Subaru is recalling 783,000 vehicles to replace dangerous Takata airbag inflators. This campaign is part of an industry-wide effort involving more than a dozen automakers and 1.7 million vehicles. The chemical inside of Takata airbag inflators can become unstable over time, leading to violent and sometimes deadly airbag deployments. The recall is for both driver and passenger side inflators in certain 2010-2014 model years, but is limited to certain states.
A lawsuit says that the Subaru WRX suffers from sudden engine failure due to piston detonation, a well-known cause of damage to the piston and piston ringlands. The proposed class-action includes all current and former owners or lessees of the 2009-2018 Subaru Impreza WRX and WRX STI.
A class-action lawsuit alleges that Subaru’s high-performance engines, found in WRX and WRX STI vehicles, can’t create enough lubrication to properly protect the engines from failing.
