What is wrong
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the mounting holes for the tie rod ends were not manufactured correctly. As a result, the front tie rods may not fit properly. This could lead to damage during assembly and servicing. Over time, parts that do not fit correctly could separate and cause a loss of steering control.
Safety Risk:
A loss of steering control could create the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Subaru will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your car to a dealer to replace the left and right steering knuckles, tie rod ends, and related hardware.
