Affected vehicles
Subaru R1 2003–2005
Subaru R2 2003–2005
Hazard
The welding of the secondary muffler located forward on the exhaust pipe is inadequate, and cracks may develop at the weld due to vibration during driving and other conditions. If use continues in this state, the cracks at the weld will progress, and in the worst case, the secondary muffler and exhaust pipe may separate, resulting in increased noise.

排気管において、前方にある副消音器の溶接が不適切なため、走行時等の振動により当該溶接部に亀裂が発生するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、溶接部の亀裂が進行し、最悪の場合、副消音器と排気管が分離し、騒音が増大するおそれがある。
Remedy
All vehicles will have the affected exhaust pipe replaced with a serviceable part. Due to the time required to supply all serviceable parts, vehicles exhibiting abnormal exhaust noise or other anomalies will have the exhaust pipe replaced immediately, while vehicles without such anomalies will be replaced once parts become available.
