Subaru due to an incorrect tapered hole in the housing, the front tie rod ends may not fit properly.
The short version
Subaru of America, Inc. reported a problem with the linkages tie rod assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
Due to an incorrect tapered hole in the housing, the front tie rod ends may not fit properly. The improper fit can result in the tie rods and housings being deformed during assembly and service replacement if excessive torque is applied.
The tie rods may separate from the housing, causing a loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the left and right front tie rod ends and housings, free of charge.
