2015 Subaru FORESTER Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1632551
Internal NHTSA #	11297262
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	FORESTER
Model Year	2015
File date	01/12/19
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The cam carriers on the engine began leaking oil, dripping onto other components. Included a sensor and the catalytic converter. Due to the sensor being drenched in oil, the vehicle began to have issues while in motion on roads with bucking and power because the system thought it was running lean. Researching the internet shows this is a common issue with the boxer engine style chosen for foresters and can occur any time within 100,000 miles. If i had known this was a common issue, a mechanic could have repaired it prior to further damage but no recall information was available. Removing the engine to fix the cam carriers is an extensive, labor-intensive repair for something subaru knows about. Not an expert but if a catalytic converter or sensor fails while the car is in motion, probably not a good situation for the driver or other vehicles.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
