1 known fault

2.0i Lineartronic

  1. Excessive oil consumption (2.0 FB engine, 2012-2013)

    Severity 2/3 · Costly

    Subaru published a technical bulletin (02-157-14R) on the surface treatment of the oil control rings of the 2012-2013 Impreza 2.0 FB. A class action filed in 2014 in the United States accused these engines of premature ring wear and excessive oil consumption; Subaru agreed to extend repair coverage (8 years / 100,000 miles in the United States). These points concern the American market: check the oil level and the history with a Subaru repairer.
