The short version
Subaru of America, Inc. reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
Additionally included are certain model year 2013 Legacy and Outback vehicles that may have received replacement RES fobs. If the RES fob is dropped, the fob may malfunction and randomly transmit an engine start request without pressing the button.
The engine may inadvertently start and run for up to fifteen minutes. The engine may continue to start and stop until the fob battery is depleted, or until the vehicle runs out of fuel.
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will replace the RES key fobs, free of charge.
