## What is wrong

Subaru of America, Inc. \(Subaru\) is recalling certain 2021 Impreza vehicles.  The left\-front lower control arm weld may fail, allowing the control arm to separate from the crossmember.


## What can happen

A separated control arm may cause the tire to contact the wheel well, resulting in a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the repair is complete.  Dealers will inspect and replace the control arm as necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed September 3, 2021.  Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1\-844\-373\-6614.  Subaru's number for this recall is WRI\-21.


## Notes
