To reduce the safety risk, Subaru recommends that you should park the vehicle in a flat location and leave the transmission in gear whenever possible until the recall repairs have been completed. Additionally, when parking uphill, the front wheels should be turned away from the curb and the shift lever should be placed into first gear. When parking downhill, the front wheels should be turned into the curb and the shift lever should be placed into reverse gear.","mfr_campaign":"WRZ-22","units":1793,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["OUTBACK"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2022395"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"19V910000","date":"2019-12-19","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc.","component":"AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE","summary":"Subaru of America, Inc.
