Vehicles Affected: Approximately 10,400 model-year 2019 Subaru Crosstrek and Forester SUVs
The Problem: A connector inside the electronic power steering unit may short-circuit, resulting in a loss of electric power steering assistance and increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect the steering gearbox and replace it, as necessary, for free.
