What was wrong
Defect
Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2018 Subaru Legacy and Outback vehicles.

Risk
The inaccurate fuel display may cause a driver to unexpectedly run out of fuel and the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the combination meter software, free of charge. The recall began February 20, 2019. Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is WTW-82.
