Does not look to be a widespread issue if at all as the lawsuit does not seem to have a very large group and some never had any issues.
About the actual recall work done on mine, car was returned as clean as I had left it with no complaints about the work performed. |
Key word here is "allege". The vast majority of the cars made even during the recall period don't even have the defective pumps much less going back 6 years prior.
The Judge's statements tell you just how feeble the complaintents arguments are!
Judge Rodriguez also dismissed a claim from one plaintiff because the plaintiff owns a Subaru vehicle that doesn't even contain a defective fuel pump. The court also rejected claims because the plaintiffs failed in their Warranty Act claims. One plaintiff had a fuel pump replaced for free under warranty
Additionally, the judge says, "most plaintiffs experienced no symptoms of the defect in their vehicles and did not bring their cars to Subaru for the repair of any kind. No plaintiffs allege that they suffered a physical injury while driving their Subaru vehicles or rented a car at their own expense while having their vehicles repaired."
This is no different than wanting to notify the NHTSA that there is a possibility of having silicone in the pickup so they should recall all the cars.
