2010 SUBARU TRIBECA Recalls (8)

Campaign:
10V108000 on 03/17/2010
Component:
Latches/locks/linkages:doors:latch
Manufactured:
09/03/2009 - 03/07/2010
Affected:
1,585
Defect:
Subaru has notified nhtsa about a defect in certain model year 2010 tribeca passenger cars manufactured from september 4, 2009 through march 8, 2010. the door latch cables located inside the vehicle's driver and front passenger doors were improperly positioned during production. as a result, a cable can catch in the door glass regulator when a window is opened or closed. should that occur, it may unlatch the door, causing it to come open unexpectedly when raising or lowering the window.
Consequence:
If a door were to unlatch, it could open suddenly and without warning, creating a risk that an occupant could be ejected as well as a risk that the driver may become distracted, leading to a crash. this condition may also result in the failure of a door latch to operate, in which case occupants would be unable to open the door to exit the vehicle.
Correction:
Subaru will notify owners and dealers and will repair the vehicles by repositioning and securing the latch cable in both front doors free of charge. the safety recall began on march 19, 2010. owners may contact subaru toll-free at 1-800-subaru3 (1-800-782-2783) monday through friday between 8:30 am and 7:00 pm est and friday between 10:30 am and 5:00 pm est.

Campaign:
12V602000 on 12/30/2012
Component:
Exterior lighting
Affected:
633,842
Defect:
Subaru is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 legacy and outback vehicles, certain model year 2006 through 2012 tribeca vehicles sold before january 2012, and certain model year 2009 through 2012 forester vehicles sold before january 2012. up to 78,650 of these vehicles may have been equipped with accessory puddle lights that, when illuminated, brighten the area under the doors of the vehicle. a short circuit can develop when either the puddle light or connector are exposed to an electrolytic moisture source (such as road spray that has road salt in it) and it penetrates the circuit board of the puddle light or the pins of the puddle light connector(s).
Consequence:
Over time, migration of the moisture into the circuit board and/or into the connector cavity, may result in a short circuit of the puddle light system. this may generate heat which may melt the plastic resulting in smoke or fire.
Correction:
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional fused-harness, free of charge. the recall began february 19, 2013. owners may contact subaru at 1-800-782-2783 for more information.
