What This Recall Means

Component

TRAILER HITCHES

What Happened
Your 2015 Subaru Outback's trailer hitch assembly may have been installed with nuts that were overtightened, which could cause the studs to break.
Risk if Unfixed
If the studs break, your trailer might detach from the vehicle while you're towing it, which could increase the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Subaru will replace the nuts and inspect the studs for damage on your vehicle, free of charge, and the recall has already begun on October 7, 2014.
