Subaru of America is recalling 100,127 model year 2007-2009 model year Legacys and Outbacks, 2008-2014 Imprezas and 2009-2013 Forester vehicles, all equipped with turbo-charged engines.
The relay that controls the secondary air injection pump may fail, causing the pump to operate continuously and overheat.
If the air injection pump overheats, it may melt and increase the risk of a fire.
