The short version
Subaru of America, Inc. reported a problem with the electronic stability control (esc). Here is what owners need to know.
The brake fluid used in these vehicles may contain excess moisture which may adversely affect the performance of the electronic stability control system.

Poor performance of the electronic stability control system when it is activated may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will perform an ABS activation, then flush and replace the brake fluid, free of charge.
