This can occur without prior warning, possibly resulting in a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the master cylinders. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began March 21, 2002. Owners who do not
receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Subaru at 1-800-782-2783.
