NHTSA recall 99V249000
Power Train · Subaru of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Anti-rust coating was incorrectly applied to the transverse link mounting surface of the vehicle body. Over time the coating shrinks, causing a torque decrease of the bolt that secures the transverse link bracket to the vehicle body.
Why it matters: This can result in loosening of the bracket and subsequent separation of the transverse link from the vehicle frame.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicles and, if necessary, remove the anti-rust coating under the mounting location of the left transverve link mounting bracket bolt and retorque the mounting bolt to the required torque.
