The 1995 Subaru Legacy has 3 recalls, the most serious being airbags that can deploy unexpectedly when the tow hooks strike a curb, pothole, speed bump, or similar road feature, which can injure the driver or passenger without warning.
The front coil springs on certain vehicles can corrode and fracture, particularly in states where road salt is heavily used in winter. When a spring breaks, it can shift out of its seat and dig into a front tire, deflating it while driving. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this issue, which is why it appears across more than one recall filing.
