Subaru of America is recalling 3,251 model year 2016 Legacy vehicles manufactured October 24, 2015, to November 16, 2015, and Outback vehicles manufactured October 24, 2015, to November 17, 2015.
Due to the improper tightening of the securing nuts, the drive shaft may separate from the rear differential. If the drive shaft detaches from the rear differential, it may strike the fuel tank and result in a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
Subaru has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the fastening nuts, and tighten or replace them, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 10, 2015.
Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1-856-488-8500. Subaru's number for this recall is WQV-57.
