Safety recalls
NHTSA lists 2 recalls reported for the 2024 SUBARU Forester. Recall campaigns apply to a year, make, and model — not a specific VIN — so confirm whether this vehicle is affected and unrepaired at NHTSA.gov/recalls.
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2024 Forester vehicles. The engine water pipe may have loose attachment bolts, allowing the pipe to lose its seal and leak coolant.
Remedy: Subarus independent distributor processing facilities will tighten the water pipe attachment bolts. The affected vehicles have not been delivered to dealers or sold to owners and therefore, no owner notification letters will be sent. Owners may contact Subaru's customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is WRO-23.
