The U.S. callback targets vehicles produced this year as recently as May 5. Subaru has ordered dealers not to sell affected models until they can be inspected. Steering columns will be replaced if necessary.
Subaru says affected cars should not be driven until repairs are made. Government documentation about the recall does not indicate when customers will be notified. No injuries have been reported.
