2017 SUBARU OUTBACK Recalls Canada & USA

2017 SUBARU OUTBACK Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Subaru Outback has 4 recalls, the most serious involving two separate safety issues that affect vehicle control: a steering column defect that can cause the steering wheel to have no effect on the direction of travel, and front brake caliper, wheel hub, and stabilizer clamp bolts that can loosen or detach and make the vehicle unstable. On the safety equipment side, a replacement airbag control module installed on some vehicles is not compatible with the passenger airbag, which means the passenger frontal airbag may not deploy correctly in a crash. There is also a structural concern: a knee guard bracket behind the dashboard may not be properly welded to the steering beam, and in a frontal crash where the driver is not wearing a seatbelt, it may fail to restrain the driver's lower body as intended.
