Component:: Power train:automatic transmission
Manufactured:: 05/31/2001 - 09/29/2002
Affected:: 172,564
Defect:: Certain sport utility and passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions were produced with an improperly manufactured transmission parking rod. when the transmission selector lever is placed in the "p" (park) position, the transmission park mechanism, that is intended to hold your vehicle, may not engage.
Consequence:: The vehicle could then move/roll without prior warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:: Dealers will replace the automatic transmission parking rod assembly. owner notification january 8, 2003. an interim owner notification will be sent during november 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact subaru at 1-800-782-2783.

Affected:: 127,580
Defect:: On certain passenger sedans, wagons, and sport utility vehicles, the cruise control cable could come out of its track on the cruise control lever and lodge on the control lever tab when the accelerator pedal is released. if this condition occurs, the throttle will not return to the idle position and will remain in an open position.
Consequence:: If this occurs during vehicle operation, the driver could lose control of the vehicle, which could result in a crash.
Correction:: Dealers will install a cruise control cable retaining clip to the cruise control lever tab on the throttle shaft in order to prevent the cruise control cable from coming out of its track. owner notification began on april 12, 2004. owners should contact subaru at 1-800-782-2783.

Affected:: 84,574
Defect:: On certain sedan and wagon model vehicles, the left front bolt that retains the forward part of the driver's seat to the seat slide rail may loosen. if the seat slide rail bolt loosens, it will eventually fall out, and the seat may separate from the seat slide.

Affected:: 36,791
Defect:: Subaru is recalling 36,791 my 2002-2003 impreza wagons. the stud bolt(s) of rear gate stay may have been tightened with insufficient tightening torque and a gap may have resulted between the rear gate panel and stud bolt base. after repeated rear gate operations (opening and closing), the rear gate inner panel at the welding nut may break, which will lead to detachment of the rear gate stay, and the rear gate dropping down.
Consequence:: In case someone is underneath or near the rear gate, there is a possibility that a dropping rear gate panel may hit them increasing the risk of injuries.
Correction:: Dealers will inspect to see if there is any gap at the stud bolt of the rear gate stay installation. if a gap is found, the stud bolt will be removed to check for damage to the welding nut. if the weld nut is cracked, the rear gate stay will be replaced free of charge. the recall began on june 2, 2008. owners may contact subaru at 1-800-782-2783.
