Title: Recall on Subaru '02 to '08
Post by DaveM on 01/13/12 at 14:03:55

Just thought I would post this for those who may not have received it.

I received a recall notice from Subaru (haven't had it since '06, go figure). The recall had to do with front lower control arms that could fall out. I can dig out the information if required.

I just thought that if their information still had me on file, then anyone else who bought an older car may not have received this.

The funniest part of the notice was where it said that if you no longer own the car, please fill out the change of ownership from the glove box!?!?!?! :D

I think this is just with the Impreza/WRX and not the STi or other models from what I remember the tech at the shop saying.

Might want to confirm the modules that it affects, just to make sure.

It's a rust problem, the control arm rusts out from the inside. The STi runs aluminum arms and it isn't an issue.
