Engine Failure Recall Affects 400,000 Subarus And Toyotas

The defunct Scion brand isn’t done making headlines, it seems. The rear-drive FR-S 2+2 sport coupe is among a number of vehicles — mainly Subarus — recalled over valve springs that could break, leading to serious engine damage.

In total, some 400,000 vehicles built between 2012 and 2013 are included in the recall; among them, Subaru BRZs, Foresters, and Imprezas. The Japanese-market Toyota 86 and North American-market Scion FR-S, twins of the BRZ, feature the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder.

I'd rather have a possible fire bomb that a Super Beetle engine that grenades itself.

Subaru engines are known to grenade themselves. This is not a new issue. This is a long-standing issue. They are probably fixing this because too many lesbians showed up with their vegan alfredo lattes and threatened castration.
