Subaru of America Inc. plans to recall 47,400 of its 2010-2013 vehicles in the U.S. to replace a faulty remote control unit that could randomly signal the engine to start.
The campaign includes certain Legacy sedans, Outback wagons, Impreza compacts and XV Crosstrek small crossover vehicles. The affected models are equipped with automatic or continuously variable transmissions and an add-on remote engine-start system.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the system can malfunction if drivers drop the keychain fob that contains the remote control. The problem does not affect Subaru's optional remote entry system, whose control unit is built into the ignition key.
