The short version

Subaru of America, Inc. reported a problem with the disc caliper. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The affected vehicles may have improperly tightened attaching bolts for the front left and right brake calipers, wheel hubs, and the right stabilizer clamp.

WHY IT MATTERS

If any of the front brake caliper, wheel hub or stabilizer clamp attaching bolts loosen or detach, the related components would also become loose and may detach possibly making the vehicle unstable and reducing the braking capability. These conditions would increase the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the bolts for proper torque, and replace any loose bolts, free of charge.
