- Recall2018 outback
Fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall2019 outback
Fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall2020 outback
Fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall2021 outback
A loose nut can lead to a lost of retention in the CVT select lever cable and the gear selector not functioning properly, increasing risk of crash.
- Recall2020 outback
The intermittent loss of the rearview image reduces the driver's visibility and increases the risk of crash.
- Recall2019 outback
If the low pressure fuel pump fails, the engine may stall without the ability to restart the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall2016 outback
In the event of a crash necessitating passenger frontal air bag deployment, the air bag may not deploy properly, increasing the risk of injury.
- Recall2017 outback
In the event of a crash necessitating passenger frontal air bag deployment, the air bag may not deploy properly, increasing the risk of injury.
- Recall2020 outback
A missing or loose bolt may cause the brake pedal mounting area to deform over time, which can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
- Recall2019 outback
In the event of a crash, the reduced strength of the vehicle body may increase the risk of injury.
- Recall2018 outback
Failure to display the rearview image while backing up increases the risk of crash.
- Recall2018 outback
The inaccurate fuel display may cause a driver to unexpectedly run out of fuel and the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall2017 outback
If the knee guard is not properly attached and the driver is not wearing a seatbelt, the knee guard may not be able to properly restrain the driver's lower body in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- Recall2017 outback
If any of the front brake caliper, wheel hub or stabilizer clamp attaching bolts loosen or detach, the related components would also become loose and may detach possibly making the vehicle unstable and reducing the braking capability. These conditions would increase the risk of a crash.
- Do not drive2015 outback
The loss of steering ability would increase the risk of a crash.
- Do not drive2016 outback
The loss of steering ability would increase the risk of a crash.
- Do not drive2017 outback
The loss of steering ability would increase the risk of a crash.
- Recall2015 outback
Poor performance of the electronic stability control system when it is activated may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall2016 outback
If the drive shaft detaches from the rear differential, it may strike the fuel tank and result in a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
- Recall2015 outback
If the transmission oil leaks onto the exhaust pipe, there is a possible risk of fire.
- Recall2016 outback
If the transmission oil leaks onto the exhaust pipe, there is a possible risk of fire.
- Recall2015 outback
If the automatic pre-collision braking system does not function as intended, the vehicle will not react to an obstacle in its path, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall2015 outback
The mounting nut(s) may not provide sufficient force to remain attached to the studs or the studs themselves might break. If this were to happen while a trailer is being towed, the driver might not be able to operate the vehicle as desired or the trailer may detach from the vehicle. Either situation could increase the risk of a crash.
