What is wrong
Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Crosstrek Hybrid vehicles. The harness terminal that supplies low-voltage power from the converter to the 12-Volt battery may corrode and break, preventing the 12-Volt battery from charging.
What can happen
A 12-Volt battery that is unable to recharge can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will replace the converter terminal mounting bracket. If corrosion is found on the terminals, the 12-Volt output harness and terminals will also be replaced. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 12, 2023. Owners may contact Subaru's customer service at 1-844-373-6614.

| 07-145-19 | 2019-03-11. Service bulletin. The purpose of this Service Information bulletin is to advise Technicians about DTC B279A12: ?ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM CIRCUIT SHORT TO AUX BATTERY?. For 2019MY, this DTC will always be indicated when inspecting for Readiness Codes using the Subaru Select Monitor. It will set because although the ECM?s self-diagnosis function includes the DTC, there is no target value included in the logic to test against. Therefore, the test result is incomplete and the DTC is stored. Even though the DTC is displayed, the system is normal and no attempt should be made to diagnose or repair it. The logic will be changed for 2020MY. |
A bulletin is the manufacturer's note to its dealers. It is not part of this recall.
