Consequencs:
Brake fluid may leak due to the brake line corrosion and may result in longer distances being required to slow or stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Notes:
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will apply an anti-corrosion wax to the four-way joint connector area of the brake line system, free of charge. the recall began on january 27, 2015. owners may contact subaru customer service at 1-800-782-2783. subaru's number for this recall is wqq-52. notes: this recall is specific to affected forester, impreza, wrx, and sti customers who had their car remedied under nhtsa recall no. 14v-311 prior to december 23, 2014. subaru has determined that this remedy was inadequate due to incomplete repair instructions provided to dealers. affected forester, impreza, wrx, and sti vehicles that were not repaired under nhtsa recall no. 14v-311 prior to december 23, 2014 will continue to be processed under nhtsa recall no. 14v-311. affected vehicles not currently, or formerly, registered in the salt belt states identified in this recall are eligible for repair, at no cost to the customer, upon request.

Description:
Subaru is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 legacy and outback vehicles, certain model year 2006 through 2012 tribeca vehicles sold before january 2012, and certain model year 2009 through 2012 forester vehicles sold before january 2012. up to 78,650 of these vehicles may have been equipped with accessory puddle lights that, when illuminated, brighten the area under the doors of the vehicle. a short circuit can develop when either the puddle light or connector are exposed to an electrolytic moisture source (such as road spray that has road salt in it) and it penetrates the circuit board of the puddle light or the pins of the puddle light connector(s).
Consequencs:
Over time, migration of the moisture into the circuit board and/or into the connector cavity, may result in a short circuit of the puddle light system. this may generate heat which may melt the plastic resulting in smoke or fire.
Notes:
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional fused-harness, free of charge. the recall began february 19, 2013. owners may contact subaru at 1-800-782-2783 for more information.
