What Happened
Your Legacy or Outback's body structure is made up of many metal parts held together by spot welds. In some 2019 models, these welds near the air intake system might not be strong enough.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash, the weakened body structure could lead to a higher risk of injury to you or your passengers.
Free Fix
Your Subaru dealer will inspect the welds and make any necessary repairs – either free of charge or by repurchasing your vehicle – to ensure your vehicle's body is strong and safe.
