AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/01 Report--

Japanese carmaker Subaru has announced a global recall involving 2.27 million vehicles, the largest recall in the company's history.

According to foreign media reports, Subaru announced that it will recall a total of 2.2638 million models of "Forest Man" and "Wing Leopard" worldwide, which will be produced between September 2008 and March 2017. A total of 306700 vehicles need to be recalled in Japan, while nearly 2 million vehicles need to be recalled in North America.

Reason for the recall: it is reported that under normal circumstances, pressing the brake pedal will switch to the brake light switch to start the engine. But this switch found a defect that caused the engine to fail to start.

Subaru expects the global recall to incur a fee of 10 billion yen, which will be offset by cost-cutting without affecting financial performance.
