- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2021228
- Manufacturer's number: WRE\-21
- Reported: 2021\-04\-15
- Component: Electrical
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 52863

## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the engine control module \(ECM\) may have been programmed incorrectly. As a result, the internal temperature of the ignition coils may increase. This could cause a short circuit and a blown fuse. This may result in a sudden loss of engine power with an inability to immediately restart.

Note: This recall replaces WUQ\-02 \(Transport Canada recall 2019\-526\). Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.

Safety Risk:

A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Subaru will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the ECM if necessary, and replace the ignition coils. On vehicles with ignition coil damage, if a certain trouble code \(DTC\) is stored, the front exhaust pipe will also be replaced.
