Summary

"subaru has determined that affected vehicles equipped with optional genuine subaru puddle lights may develop a short circuit and cause the related components to overheat and potentially melt. A short circuit can develop when either the puddle lights or connectors are exposed to an electrolytic moisture source (I.e.- salt water) and it penetrates the circuit board of the puddle light or the pins of the puddle light connector(s). If the puddle lights or connectors were to overheat, they could melt and pose a risk of a fire. This recall will involve vehicle inspection and installation of inline fuses as necessary."

Owners of these vehicles have filed 200 complaints in the lights category.
