Subaru China has submitted a recall report to China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine that from October 14, 2008, the company will recall B9-Tribeca/Tribeca SUVs manufactured during the period June 3, 2005 to July 28, 2008, a total up to 2,608 units in China.
The reason for the recall is that the installation of the suspension front tie rod is incorrect. If the vehicle runs on an uneven road for a long time, the tie rod might be fractured, and the driver might hear an unusual noise or the vehicle might not perform as expected.
Subaru China will conduct inspections to those recalled vehicles and install an improved steering tie rod to eliminate the problem.
The company will inform consumers of the recall from October 14, 2008 onwards. Or consumers can contact Subaru's designated repair stations to arrange for the inspection and replacement.
