2002 SUBARU IMPREZA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2002 Subaru Impreza has 3 recalls, the most serious involving front lower control arms that can corrode over time until the steel thins and fractures, causing a sudden loss of front suspension and steering control. A separate safety concern involves the driver's seat: a retaining bolt on the front seat's slide rail can loosen and fall out with regular use, potentially allowing the seat to break free from its track in a crash and increasing injury risk to the driver. On wagon models, the liftgate stay damper bolts may not have been tightened fully during assembly, and repeated use of the rear gate can cause the welded nuts to fail, letting the liftgate drop unexpectedly on anyone nearby.

2002 SUBARU IMPREZATransport Canada Recall #2011344

SUSPENSION

Defect

On certain vehicles, the front lower control arms could corrode due to exposure to humid environments and road de-icing chemicals. Over time, corrosion could progress causing thinning and perforation of the steel, which could allow the control arm to fracture near the forward pivot attachment to the chassis. Lower control arm failure could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Safety Risk

No risk description available.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the front lower control arms and, depending on the degree of corrosion exhibited, will either rustproof or replace them.
