If you have a newer model Subaru Legacy or Outback, stop right now.
The automaker is recalling more than 48,500 vehicles over a potential steering column defect so serious, they shouldn't even be driven to a mechanic.
...
"The steering column in your vehicle may not have been manufactured to specification," Subaru says in a customer service message online. "If this condition exists, turning the steering wheel may have no effect on the direction of the wheels, increasing the risk of a crash."

Why do feel China was involved in the part manufacture?
Also interested in where you find any small consumer products NOT made in China.

You bought a 1953, '54 or '55 Subaru?
Not a smart move to begin with.

I’m now driving my 5th Subaru. I’m neither a lesbian nor liberal.
Cheers, ‘Pod.

Well, maybe those groups do but everyone else does as well (and I'm in eastern WA State).

Doesn't seem as bad as if you turned the steering wheel and the front wheels went in the opposite direction /s

You bought the Subaru 360 with the 25 HP Two Stroke Engine?
The Yamaha Dealer I used to go to sold those back in the mid 70’s. They even had a Van version.
The Subaru 360 took over 50 seconds to hit 50 MPH.
They should have called it the Subaru 5050.

"Official" according to who?
Form what I have seen, the Audi A4 and Scion Xb should vie for that title.

I was behind a Subaru a week or so ago and there was a bumper sticker that said - just because I’m driving a Subaru does not mean I’m a liberal

“If this condition exists, turning the steering wheel may have no effect on the direction of the wheels, increasing the risk of a crash.”
Really? Whoda thunk that! Why can’t I just drive in straight lines??
To: BenLurkin
That is a Forester(the car) NOT one of the recalled models.

My(actually my Wife’s) 2013 Subaru Forester has a Lifetime NRA Sticker on it. I bought it for her because there in no more better in the snow car than a Subaru and she is an RN and HAS to make it to work each time EVERY TIME! We are EXTREMELY Conservative!

I have 239000 on my 95 Legacy Wagon. I got my wife a 2010 Forester. I used them to haul my guns until that tragic boating accident. They are great in the snow.
