Vehicles Affected: Approximately 100,000 model-year 2007-09 Subaru Legacy sedans and Outback wagons, 2008-14 Impreza cars and 2009-13 Forester SUVS, all equipped with turbocharged engines

The Problem: The relay that controls the secondary air-injection pump may fail, causing the pump to continuously operate and overheat, and possibly melt, increasing the risk of a fire.

The Fix: Dealers will replace the secondary air-injection pump relay for free.

What Owners Should Do: Subaru did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 800-782-2783 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
