2001 Subaru Legacy

What can fail

The inner slide rail latch that holds manually-adjustable front seats in place may have been improperly welded, potentially causing the seat to shift.

What the fix does

Dealers will replace one or both front seat inner slide rails at no cost.

What can fail

On some Legacy Sedans with beige interiors, the rear center lap/shoulder belt webbing is too short. It was cut to 2620 mm (wagon length) instead of the correct 2800 mm (sedan length).

What the fix does

Dealers will replace the rear center lap/shoulder belts with correct-length belts.

What can fail

Under-hood fuel hoses may crack and leak fuel in very cold temperatures as they age and lose flexibility, particularly hoses with lot numbers 0804 and 0806.

What the fix does

Dealers will inspect and replace all under-hood fuel hoses with lot numbers 0804 and 0806.

What can fail

The beige rear center seat belt webbing installed on some vehicles is too short, which may prevent proper fastening or adjustment.

What the fix does

Dealers will replace all beige rear center lap and shoulder belts with corrected webbing from lot number 0171.

What can fail

A manufacturing flaw in the right front bearing housing casting may cause the tie-rod arm to fail, potentially resulting in loss of steering control.

What the fix does

Dealers will replace all front bearing housings with lot number OF15.
