Das scheint ja eine böse Geschichte zu sein. Produktion und Verkauf der 2.5 l Turbos werden vorübergehend eingestellt. Es geht um "abnormale Abnützung an den grossen Pleuellagern".

Meldung in Englisch:

From an Australian Subaru Bulletin
Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru vehicles, has temporarily suspended the
production and sale of all 2.5 litre four cylinder turbocharged engine vehicles manufactured
between Tuesday 8 January and Saturday 5 April 2008.
Vehicles fitted with all other displacement engines and the 2.5 litre normally aspirated engine are
NOT affected.
This Quality Assurance action follows isolated reports of “engine knocking noise” and is aimed at
avoiding possible damage to the engines of potentially affected vehicles.
FHI have identified the problem as abnormal wear on con rod big end bearings and are now
working to identify the cause and produce a fix.
Therefore, in the interests of preventing any possibility of engine damage to potentially affected
vehicles, we are isolating any potentially affected vehicles from sale until the cause and correction are identified.
