Consumer Description

FUEL LINES ARE LEAKING DUE TO COLD WEATHER THE SAME THING THAT WAS RECALLED FOR THE WRX ONCE ALREADY.S WHEN IT GETS COLD THE LINES CONSTRICT AND THE CONNECTIONS AREN'T RIGHT ENOUGH ALLOWING LIQUID GASOLINE TO LEAK OUT ONTO THE HOT ENGINE. THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON THING. SUBARU NEEDS TO OWN UP FOR THIS ONE LIKE THEY DID THE WRX. *TR
