As a result, the ground terminal and nearby parts could overheat and melt.\n\nSafety Risk:\nWiring that overheats and melts could create the risk of a fire.\n\nCorrective Actions:\nSubaru will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the PTC (positive temperature coefficient) heater ground bolt. The ground wire and the connector holder will be replaced, if necessary. Subaru advises not remote start your vehicle using Subaru Starlink Connected Services (if equipped) or an aftermarket remote starter (if installed). Subaru also advises not leave the vehicle running while unattended, and that you should park it outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"WRL-22","part_number":null,"units":13954,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Circuit électrique","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Problème :\nSur certains véhicules, le boulon de la borne de mise à la terre de la chaufferette d'appoint pourrait ne pas avoir été serré correctement. Par conséquent, la borne de mise à la terre et les pièces adjacentes pourraient surchauffer et fondre.\n\nRisques pour la sécurité :\nUn câblage qui surchauffe ou fond pourrait créer un risque d'incendie.\n\nMesures correctives :\nSubaru doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur véhicule chez un concessionnaire pour faire remplacer le boulon de la borne de mise à la terre de la chaufferette à coefficient de température positif (PTC). Le câble de mise à la terre et le support du raccord seront remplacés, au besoin.
