What happened

Subaru is recalling certain 2008 and 2009 model year Tribeca vehicles because the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) G-Sensor may have been installed incorrectly. When the G-Sensor is not properly installed, the VDC system does not operate as intended, such as when the vehicle is turning, which could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and potentially cause an accident. One incident has been reported related to this issue.

The recall affects specific vehicle identification number (VIN) ranges for both model years, including vehicles with right-hand drive and left-hand drive configurations across European, general, and North American specifications. The source document does not specify what remedy an affected consumer should pursue.
