The short version

Subaru of America, Inc. reported a problem with the power train automatic transmission. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

In the affected vehicles, the parking rod may come loose inside the automatic transmission.

WHY IT MATTERS

As a result of the parking rod detaching, the transmission may not be able to be moved from the "park" position preventing the vehicle from being moved or driven. Furthermore, even with the transmission shifted into the 'park' position, the parking mechanism may not engage, and the vehicle may roll away while in the "park" position, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission, free of charge.
