Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System Problems of Subaru Impreza Wrx

Recall no 16v738 I had my car serviced today by the dealer for the identified recall for the secondary air injection pump relay which could cause the pump to overheat. Additionally, my check engine light has been on indicating an issue with the secondary air injection pump. While the dealer replaced the relay, they informed me that I would have to pay for them to check the pump and for any repairs on it even though the recall issue could cause the pump to fail and the check engine light was indicating an issue with it. The recall notice I received mentioned that pump replacement may be necessary. Can you explain why I would have to pay for a repair caused by a recall? thank you.

In cool or cold weather, there is a very strong odor of raw fuel inside the passenger compartment. Anyone inside or near the car is exposed to harmful gasoline fumes, these vapors are toxic when concentrated and may cause dizziness and hallucinations in smaller amounts. There is also concern of potential fire danger. Fuel odor has been present year-round on my car, and also on many other 2002 and 2003 Subaru imprezas. This is a common issue that Subaru needs to address, but their position seems to be that it is the customer's fault and responsibility. This repair, to correct a design flaw in the Subaru wrx, will cost the loyal customer several hundred dollars. Thanks Subaru, thanks a lot.
