The safety of drivers and passengers is our immediate priority. The 2013 Subaru BRZ is affected by two NHTSA-listed recalls: one involving engine valve springs that may fracture and cause an engine malfunction or possible stall, and another addressing inaccurate information in the owner’s manual about the passenger occupant classification system and air bag descriptions. An engine stall increases the risk of a crash, and incorrect manual guidance can lead to improper expectations about air bag operation. Ignoring these issues can raise the chance of injury and may affect insurance claims or liability after an incident. Mike Shaw Subaru’s factory-trained technicians use OEM parts and Subaru-approved procedures to complete recall repairs at no charge under the manufacturer’s program. We document all work so you have a clear service history that protects safety and resale value.
