Recall details

Power train: driveline, driveshaft

November 9, 2023 · Subaru of America, Inc. · Campaign 23V-754

What is wrong: Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2024 Crosstrek, Impreza, 2023-2024 Forester, and 2023 WRX vehicles. The front driveshaft assemblies' outer race may develop cracks and break.
