0 SUBARU OUTBACK

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Subaru (Aust) Pty Ltd—MY13 Outback Vehicles

Recall date: 7 August 2013

Defect

When the gear selector is set to the “park” position, the parking pawl may not engage and therefore the parking mechanism may not operate properly. In this case (assuming the parking brake has not been applied), the vehicle may roll (depending on parking condition e.g. if parked on an incline). For the sake of clarity, this issue does not affect proper operation of the hand brake and if the hand brake is applied the car will not roll.

Hazard

A rolling vehicle poses a hazard to the driver and other road users and bystanders

Remedy

A letter is being sent to affected owners. For further information, please contact Subaru Australia 1800 22 66 43.
