## What is wrong

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.


## What can happen

Leaking coolant can contact a hot exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Subaru’s 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.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
