STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY

Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2020 Ascent vehicles. Due to an incorrect tapered hole in the housing, the front tie rod ends may not fit properly. The improper fit can result in the tie rods and housings being deformed during assembly and service replacement if excessive torque is applied.

The tie rods may separate from the housing, causing a loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash.
