## What is wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MANUALLY\-ADJUSTABLE \(NON\-POWERED\) SEATS.  CERTAIN INNER FRONT SLIDE RAIL LATCH MECHANISMS MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY WELDED.


## What can happen

IF AN INNER SLIDE RAIL LATCH MECHANISM BREAKS DUE TO IMPROPER WELDING, FORWARD AND REARWARD SEAT ADJUSTMENT WILL NO LONGER BE POSSIBLE.  IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SLIDE RAILS COULD BREAK, EXPOSING THE OCCUPANT TO A RISK OF INJURY.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE ONE OR BOTH FRONT SEAT INNER SLIDE RAILS.  OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MARCH 30, 2001.  OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT SUBARU AT 1\-800\-782\-2783.
