## What is wrong

On certain Impreza wagon, the liftgate stay damper bolts may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly.  After repeated rear gate operations, loose stud bolts can cause the welded nuts to fail, allowing the liftgate to drop suddenly, and placing anyone underneath or near the gate at risk of personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and repair as necessary.
