SEPTEMBER 2011
-- Subaru is recalling certain model year 2002-2007 Impreza, model year
2003-2008 Forester, and model year 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X vehicles manufactured
from September 5, 2000 through November 26, 2007 originally sold, or currently
registered in, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York,
Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, West
Virginia and the District of Columbia. The front lower control arms may break at
the hanger brackets due to corrosion if the hanger bracket is exposed to salty
and humid environments such as roads containing snow melting agent. A broken
control arm can result in the loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the
risk of a crash. Subaru dealers will inspect the degree of corrosion of the
front lower control arms, and will either rustproof or replace them. This
service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin
during November 2011. 11V-464
