2024 Forester – Engine and Cooling System
NHTSA 23V723000 • Subaru WRO-23
Reviewed by SubaruReview Editorial Team · Last reviewed 2023-10-26 · Editorial standards
Filed under our full Subaru recall database and cross-referenced with the reliability & common problems hub. Owners often confuse a recall with a TSB — recalls are free at any Subaru dealer, TSBs are not.
Defect
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.
Consequence
Leaking coolant can contact a hot exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy
Subarus 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.
