2 known faults

1.6 DIT 170 Lineartronic

  1. Electric parking brake recall

    Manufacturer recall

    The connector of the electronic parking brake may not work as intended: the vehicle may then move while the brake is applied. The recall covers 2015-2018 Levorg models (European alert and Australian recall). Repair is free at the dealership; check with the VIN.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

  2. Fuel pump recall

    Manufacturer recall

    The resin impeller of the low-pressure pump can swell and deform in the fuel, which can stall the engine. A recall is documented for 2018-2019 Levorg models in Australia and Japan (extended to 2017-2020 in Japan in 2024); the exact coverage of European cars is not specified in these sources: ask a Subaru dealer with the VIN.
