What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, a connector for the electronic parking brake (EPB) could disconnect. If this happens, you won't be able to apply the parking brake and the vehicle could roll away. If this happens and the parking brake is set, you won't be able release it. Note: This problem will cause the brake warning lamp to turn on or flash.

Why it matters

A parked vehicle that moves unexpectedly could increase the risk of an injury or a crash.

What the dealer will do

Subaru will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the adapter cord connector for the electronic parking brake, and if necessary, install an additional retaining clip. 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.

Transport Canada lists: Legacy 2017 · Outback 2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the driver’s knee guard bracket may not have been properly aligned at the time of welding and may not have been properly attached to the steering beam. In a frontal crash where the driver is not wearing a seatbelt, the knee guard may not be able to restrain the occupant’s lower body as designed, which could increase the risk of injury to the driver.

What the dealer will do

Knee guard welds will be inspected and repaired as necessary. Note: All vehicles are to be inspected and/or repaired prior to sale.
