Recall - Door Latch Screws
NUMBER: WZR-44
DATE: November 19, 1990
APPLICABILITY:
1990MY and 1991 MY Legacy Sedans and Station Wagons
SUBJECT:
Door Latch Screws
Subaru of America has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1990MY and 1991 MY Subaru Legacy Sedan and
Station Wagon Models.
The defect is due to the front door latch screws becoming loose over the passage of time, causing the affected door not to latch properly. This condition,
if not corrected, may possibly result in difficulty of opening the door and, once opened, failure of the door to latch. To prevent this potential condition
from occurring, it is necessary to replace the screws of the front door latches with modified "lock tight" screws.
