2 recalls across 2 model years
The Subaru XT has 2 recalls, the more serious being a 1985 model year fuel system issue where the rear bumper rail can break free under a rear impact, slide forward, and tear the fuel tank vent hose, creating conditions for a fuel leak and fire.
On 1989 models equipped with an electronically controlled automatic transmission, the park gear disengagement mechanism can bind under certain parking loads and fail to release smoothly into reverse, causing the vehicle to lurch unexpectedly when the driver attempts to back up.
