- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2025344

## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the bolts that secure the universal anchorage system \(UAS\) for installing a child car seat may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the bolt\(s\) could loosen, and the anchor\(s\) could separate in a crash.

Note: This recall only affects Forester e\-BOXER hybrid models.

Safety Risk:

A child seat that isn't properly secured could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Corrective Actions:

To reduce the safety risk, Subaru advises you not to install child seat\(s\) using the universal anchorage system. You may still install child seat\(s\) using the rear seat belts, as described in the vehicle owner's manual and child seat manufacturer's installation guide until the recall repairs have been completed. Subaru will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the lower child seat anchor bolts.
