Nearly 1 million vehicles are impacted and owners should take action immediately. Read on for details on the fix and what you can do about it.

Did your Subaru make the list?

These new auto recalls are a collection of modes from Subaru. The first affects 466,205 vehicles comprised of the 2017-19 Impreza and 2018-19 Crosstrek models. Degradation of the engine control module (ECM) programming and ignition coils could cause starting or stalling issues. Subaru reports that this is an infrequent occurrence but will check or update these parts if needed. No accidents or injuries have been reported. The second recall involves 405,000 2019 Forester and 2019 Crosstrek models. Subaru wants to examine and re-torque the bolts on the rear stabilizer bracket. These can come loose over time and cause damage to surrounding components. Once again, this problem has a low rate of occurrence and no incidents have been reported yet. In its April 15 announcement, Subaru said it would notify owners via mail within 60 days.
