Subaru recalls more than 600 crossovers Forester in Russia

The company "Subaru Motor" announced the recall of 616 crossovers Subaru Forester, sold in 2018-2019. The reason for the recall is the valve of the crankcase ventilation system (it is a crankcase exhaust gas flow control device), which can figure out and allow engine oil to enter the combustion chamber.

If the valve of the crankcase ventilation system is disassembled and the oil enters the combustion chamber, an excessive amount of smoke may be released, and in the worst case, a decrease in power may be felt in the car, the press service of Rosstandart reports. On vehicles, the crankcase ventilation valve will be replaced with new parts to fix the problem. All work will be free of charge for owners. As AUTOSTAT previously reported, the mid-size Forester crossover is a Subaru bestseller in the Russian market.

Sales of this model grew by 16% and reached 5603 cars in 2019. In the second half of 2020, another additional Subaru Forester configuration will appear in Russia, and a new special version of this crossover is also expected.
