Subaru News and Notes

There's a lot of news out there, but not all of it matters.

We try to boil down it to the most important bits and pieces -- the recalls, service bulletins, and lawsuits that can help you solve you car problems. Interested in getting these quick story bits as an email? Signup over at CarComplaints.com.

  1. Well that didn't work.

    By that I mean Subaru's recall of 660,000 vehicles for rusted brake lines that could cause a sudden loss of braking. Turns out the fix didn't work for almost 200,000 vehicles that will need to be recalled for a second time.

  2. Subaru owners are known for their outdoor enthusiasm and can often be seen towing everything from wave-runners to snowmobiles.

    But next time you want to haul that Ski-Doo I'd recommend you Ski-Don't; at least until you get your trailer hitch fixed. Subaru says some of its Outbacks have an accessory trailer hitch problem and have issued a recall -- here's a breakdown of what you need to know.

  3. Subaru is recalling 660,000 cars with brake lines that can rust out due to road salt.

    The recall only affects Subarus sold in cold-weather states ... so basically all of them. This isn't Subaru's first brake line rusting rodeo, either. Full details can be found on our site, but here's a breakdown of what you need to know.

Have a complaint about your vehicle?

The best way to find out what's wrong with a vehicle is from the people who drive them. Not only do owner complaints help us rank vehicles by reliability, but they're often used to spark class-action lawsuits and warranty extensions. Plus, they're a great way to vent.
