NUMBER: WTV-81R
NHTSA ID: 18V-626
DATE: 10/30/18
REVISED: 08/26/19

APPLICABILITY:2010-2014 MY Legacy and Outback (M/T models)
SUBJECT:Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Actuator

 

INTRODUCTION:

SubarueBay of America, Inc. (SubarueBay) is recalling all 2010-2014 model year Legacy and Outback vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (M/T), to replace the electronic parking brake (EPB) actuator assembly. A total of 27,175 U.S. vehicles are affected by this recall.

Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission are not affected by this recall. However, they will be covered under an extended warranty. Details of the extended warranty coverage will be forthcoming.

 

AFFECTED VEHICLES:

Model YearCarlineProduction Range
2010-2014Legacy equipped with M/TAll M/T
2010-2014Outback equipped with M/TAll M/T

 

Coverage for all affected vehicles must be confirmed by using the Vehicle Coverage Inquiry function on subarunet.com.  This information is available.

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE AND SAFETY RISK:

Due to improper manufacturing processes, a capacitor on the circuit board and/or the actuator stroke sensor magnetic ring located in the control unit of the EPB may crack over time. If either component develops a crack, the brake telltale warning lamp will illuminate, and the EPB may not apply as intended.

If the manual transmission (M/T) shift lever is not in the recommended gear when the vehicle is parked and the EPB does not engage, the vehicle may roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE REMEDY:

Once parts are available, the EPB actuator assembly will be replaced on all 2010-2014 model year Legacy and Outback vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (M/T).

 

RETAILER RESPONSIBILITY:

Retailers are to promptly perform the applicable service procedures to correct all affected vehicles in their inventory (used, demo & SSLP). Additionally, whenever a vehicle subject to this recall is taken into retailer inventory, or in for service, necessary steps should be taken to ensure the recall correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

Until this repair is performed, please advise owners of the information and parking tips listed below, which are also described in the owner’s manual. Until this repair can be performed, the driver should do the following when parking the vehicle:

  • Whenever possible, park the vehicle in a flat location.
  • When parking uphill, the front wheels should be turned away from the curb as shown. Also, be sure to shift the M/T shifter into first gear when parking uphill.
  • When parking downhill, the front wheels should be turned into the curb as shown. Also, be sure to shift the M/T shift lever into reverse gear when parking the vehicle downhill.
  • Apply the electronic parking brake (EPB) by depressing the brake pedal and pressing the parking brake switch firmly.

Under normal operating conditions, the brake system warning light illuminates with the parking brake applied while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The light turns off when the parking brake is released.

However, the brake system warning light flashes when the EPB system is malfunctioning. If the brake system warning light flashes, the driver should park the vehicle in a safe location as soon as possible, taking the above precautions, and contact a SubarueBay retailer.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION:

Interim owner notification letters were sent by first class mail in November, 2018, advising of this recall and that parts were not yet available.

Now that parts are available, the affected owners will be notified again by mail on or around July 15, 2019, and by email if a valid email address is on file.

 

RETAILER AFFECTED VIN LISTS:

Each SubarueBay retailer will receive an affected VIN list from their Zone Office when owner renotification begins. Vehicles will be assigned to retailers in the affected VIN list as follows:

  • Original vehicle owners are assigned to the original selling retailer when their current address is within a 100-mile radius of that retailer.
  • If the original selling retailer is inactive, the VIN has been assigned to the nearest active retailer.
  • For any new owners or when original owners live more than 100 miles from the original selling retailer, the VIN has been assigned to the nearest active retailer.

IMPORTANT: Retailer affected VIN lists include information for vehicles affected by this recall. This information will enable retailers to follow up with owners of affected vehicles. The lists contain owners’ names and phone numbers obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is unlawful. Accordingly, retailers are required to limit the use of these lists for the sole purpose of completing this recall.

SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION:

REMINDER:  Customer satisfaction and retention starts with performing quality repairs.

The existing service procedure for replacing the EPB actuator assembly remain unchanged.  Always refer to the applicable Service Manual and review the full requirements of the repair being performed.  The Service Manual procedures contain information critical to performing an effective repair the first time and every time.  This includes but is not limited to: important SAFETY precautions, proper inspection criteria, necessary special tools, required processes and related onetime-use parts needed for a complete and lasting repair.

 

ADDITIONAL SERVICE PROCEDURE TIP:

As part of reassembly, after installing the brake rotors, the parking brake must always be re-adjusted BEFORE attempting to perform the Force Sensor Calibration Mode procedure.

IMPORTANT:  Failure to perform the following parking brake adjustment procedure may cause DTC(s) (e.g. C0271, C0253 and / or C0251) to set and create difficulty with completing the Force Sensor Calibration Mode procedure successfully.

Adjustment Procedure:

  • Remove the adjusting hole cover from the disc rotor.
  • Insert the flat tip screwdriver (b) into the brake adjustment hole (A) and rotate the adjusting screw (a) until the brake shoes contact the disc rotor (c).
  • Loosen the adjusting screw by 5 notches in the opposite direction of the arrow.
    • Operate the parking brake several times then confirm there is no brake drag.
    • If the adjusting screw is not loosened sufficiently, brake dragging may occur.
  • Install the adjusting hole cover to the disc rotor.
  • Install the rear wheels, lower the vehicle onto level ground, connect the SSM then proceed with performing the Force Sensor Calibration Mode procedure.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Due to the age of some of these affected vehicles, before beginning disassembly, it is STRONGLY recommended to clean any loose rust or corrosion from the exposed threads and apply a penetrating lubricant to hardware that needs to be removed before disassembly. Using Hand Tools Only is also STRONGLY recommended for this procedure.
  • AS LONG AS THERE WAS NO CUSTOMER CONCERN OF AN EPB FAILURE, removed EPB assemblies can be scrapped when the repair is complete.
  • IF THE CUSTOMER REPORTED THE EPB FAILED AT ANY TIME, the removed EPB assembly must be held for the standard parts holding period AND a QMR submitted with details of the alleged EPB failure.
  • Any failed replacement parts (new part installed that later fails) must be held for the standard parts holding period.

Dear SubarueBay Owner:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

SUBARUeBay OF AMERICA, INC. has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2010-2014 model year Legacy and Outback vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (M/T). These vehicles are also equipped with an electronic parking brake, which is operated by pushing or pulling the parking brake switch. You received this notice because our records indicate that you currently own one of these vehicles.

 

REASON FOR THIS RECALL:

Due to improper manufacturing processes, a capacitor on the circuit board and/or the actuator stroke sensor magnetic ring located in the control unit of the electronic parking brake (EPB) may crack over time. If either component develops a crack, the brake system warning lamp will flash, and the EPB may not apply as intended.

If the manual transmission (M/T) shift lever is not in the recommended gear when the vehicle is parked and the EPB does not engage, the vehicle may roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy parts are not yet available.

SubarueBay is in the process of acquiring the parts necessary to perform this repair. Once there is a sufficient supply of parts available, SubarueBay will contact you again by mail advising you to proceed with scheduling an appointment with your SubarueBay retailer (dealer). We expect parts to be available in the second quarter of 2019.

 

PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE UNTIL THE REPAIR CAN BE PERFORMED:

Until this repair can be performed, please do the following when parking your vehicle:

  • Whenever possible, park your vehicle in a flat location.
  • When parking uphill, the front wheels should be turned away from the curb as shown. Also, be sure to shift the M/T shifter into first gear when parking uphill.
  • When parking downhill, the front wheels should be turned into the curb as shown. Also, be sure to shift the M/T shift lever into reverse gear when parking your vehicle downhill.
  • Apply the electronic parking brake (EPB) by depressing the brake pedal and pressing the parking brake switch firmly

To release the EPB, pull the parking brake switch toward you while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position with both the brake pedal and clutch pedal depressed.

Under normal operating conditions, the brake system warning light illuminates with the parking brake applied while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The light turns off when the parking brake is released.

However, the brake system warning light flashes when the EPB system is malfunctioning. If the brake system warning light flashes, park your vehicle in a safe location as soon as possible, taking the above precautions, and contact your SubarueBay retailer.

 

WHAT SUBARUeBay WILL DO:

When remedy parts are available, SubarueBay will replace the electronic parking brake (EPB) actuator in your vehicle at no cost to you. SubarueBay will notify you again by mail when remedy parts are available, advising you to proceed with scheduling an appointment with your SubarueBay retailer.
