With the help of Google Translate, it tell us that it's possible that certain 86/BRZ may have spring valve failure which will could result in engine damage.

From Google translate:

Quote:
Subaru found that there was a risk of engine parts being destroyed, and it was found that it will notify the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation about large scale recalls (collecting / free repair) about multiple models. There is a possibility that it will be affected not only in Japan, but also on models sold overseas. It seems that there are at least hundreds of thousands target.

It is said that engine parts called valve springs will fail and there is a risk that the operation of the engine will be affected. It seems that the strategic model sold in the US and Japanese markets will be targeted. The sports car "BRZ" is also included.

Toyota's sports car "86 (Hachiroku)" developed jointly with Toyota Motor and equipped with the same engine as "BRZ" will also be recalled.
