Summary
Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) is initiating a service program for certain 2018 MY Impreza vehicles. This service program involves the inspection of a weld on the left (driver?s) side of the rear subframe assembly, and possible replacement of the rear subframe assembly. Due to a potential stamping issue of the lateral link bracket, the affected vehicles may contain an improperly placed weld on the left (driver?s) side of the rear subframe assembly. Although the weld may have been improperly placed, its placement does not affect the safe operation of the vehicle. However, if this condition exists, it may affect the driving feel of the vehicle.
