Hi There
I've got a 03 Sportwagon and I've just received a Safety Recall notice from Subaru regarding
"....we have identified a long term-safety related concerns relating to possible corrosion of the transverse link which forms part of the front suspension".
Has anybody else received one of these, or is it old news and they're just catching up on their filing?!
Does anybody know what's involved?

Thanks

 

Yeah you need to bring it to a subaru dealer ..

 

Replacing steel front bottom arms due to potential corrosion.

 

SU31 Safety recall, for the front transverse links, they need inspected and a test carried out on them to determine if they are safe to leave on the vehicle or need replacing. Book into your local dealer who would only be too happy to carry this out for you

 

As rob says above , Book it in with your local dealer they will be more than happy to help ..

 

Which models are affected by this recall?
Is it just Sport Wagons? Is it just Blob Eyes. Is it all new age? Is it UK models or including JDM as well.
How will Subaru ensure that every owner is notified where applicable?
Any chance of a bit more info from those in the know please.

 

Had a recall letter this morning for my 51 sportwagon. If it`s the bottom arms, mine split last year and I replaced them both. If it`s the bottom arms, then will just be wagons as saloons have alloy bottom arms.

 

I think its this one!:

http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/apps/reca...=Blank&tx=VOSA
Numbers Involved : 23010
Forester and Impreza - 01/01/2002 to 31/12/2007
Concern : LOWER CONTROL ARMS MAY FAIL
Description : The front Transverse links (lower Control Arms) may corrode leading to possible breakage if left without treatment.
Remedial Action : Either additional rust proofing or replacement of the Transverse links will be performed according to the degree of corrosion.


If so then this includes mine too

 

It does not affect alloy arms just steal ones , they then get checked to see if they need replacement .

UK and europe models newage impreza and forester .

If you get a letter then your car is effected ..

Then follow the letter advice

 

Thanks

 

Dad has just got the same letter for his MY02 Bugeye wagon.

Anyone know the nearest dealer to Wolverhampton????

 

Prob shrewsbury ..

 

I have a 51 plate bugeye sport wagon and mine snapped last year and I had to pay out for a replacement, how can I check if mine needs a recall?
Thanks dean

 

If you had them replaced last year, they`ll be fine.

 

so is this the wagons only then? funny i was just about to ask this question, as i was aware there was a recall about to be released - but could have sworn my blob WRX has alloy lower arms!

 

same here got letter today 05 blob waggon.

 

there will still be a recall to have them tested regardless as subaru wont know the end user has had them changed.

 

mine is a 55 plate Impreza saloon and is not affected.
I phoned my local dealer, they ran a check based on the VIN number.

 

Ive not received any letter for my Bug WRX? I've had the car a year and a half, how and who gets in touch with you ??

 

I received my notification from Subaru UK.
I just called up my local Main Dealer in Chelmsford & I'm booked in for Friday for the check.
I told them my reg plate, he didn't need any reference info from my notification paperwork.
Suggest you call up your local dealer, chances are he's already done a few.
