Safety Risk
Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions
Subaru will mail a new compliance label to each owner. If you'd like help to install the label, you can contact a Subaru dealer to have it installed free of charge.

Safety Risk
A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire.
Corrective Actions
To reduce the safety risk, Subaru recommends keeping the fuel tank below 50% capacity until the recall repairs have been completed. Subaru will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the fuel filler cap gasket.
