2016 SUBARU LEGACY Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Subaru Legacy has two recalls of equal severity, one involving a steering column that can fail to engage correctly and cause a loss of steering control, and one involving a propeller shaft that can work loose from the rear differential. The steering concern means the column components may not have been built to specification, and if they fail to engage properly the driver can lose the ability to steer. On the drivetrain side, the propeller shaft attachment nuts may not have been fully tightened at the factory and can loosen over time, allowing the shaft to separate from the rear differential. A loose shaft creates excessive noise and can contact the fuel tank, eventually wearing through it and causing a fuel leak.
