Subaru of America has issued a stop sale on all models equipped with the company's 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The stop sale — which affects Forester, Legacy and Impreza vehicles equipped with the engine built in January and February — is due to a potential engine wear issue.

According to the stop sale order issued to all U.S. Subaru dealers, in markets outside of the U.S., Subaru has received complaints of an engine knock in vehicles equipped with the 2.5L turbo engine. After investigating, Subaru determined that the engine noise was due to engine wear and has since discovered which batches of vehicles are at risk of being equipped with the faulty component.

No U.S. models have been reported to have the problem, but Subaru wants to ensure it's not selling its customers faulty vehicles.

The defect is said not to impact vehicles with the naturally aspirated version of the 2.5L or any other displacement engines.
