Starting on Aug. 28, 2015, the company will recall 49,056 imported 2013-2014 Foresters and 24,980 imported 2012-2014 Subaru XVs, according to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ).
The 2013-2014 Forester models were produced between Oct. 24, 2012 and May 10, 2014, and the 2012-2014 Subaru XV models were produced between Aug. 23, 2011 and Dec. 27, 2013, said AQSIQ in a statement.
