Subaru recalling 15,000+ 2005-2006 Baja Models over fuel pump problem

The National Highway Traffic Safety Association has discovered that cracks may develop in the Baja's fuel hose connection on the pressure side of the pump. The condition could result in a fuel leak, which could then lead to a fire. Beginning in September, Subaru is recalling 15,633 MY 2005-2006 Bajas and affected owners can bring their vehicles to any Subaru dealer to get the fuel pump bracket – including all nipples – replaced free of charge.

Sad to say that the producer of this car not checking the quality output of their accessories.

They built a car that looks like a clog, of course they weren't checking design too closely.

4wheelsonline...do you have something against Subaru? 2 threads talking negatively about them in quick succession...

Many cars get recalled at some point - Recalls are in fact, proof that the manufacturer is looking after you. I'd rather then recall the car to fix possible issues when they find them, than simply leave it and wait for someone to have an accident.
