2017 Subaru Outback Recall

Issued October 6, 2016
Issue
Hazard description
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. Correction: Knee guard welds will be inspected and repaired as necessary. Note: All vehicles are to be inspected and/or repaired prior to sale.
