2017 Subaru Outback 4dr Wagon
256-horsepower 3.6L H6 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
15000 mi
Roof rails were not sealed by the rubber seals
13000 mi
A piece of trim on the right front door was coming loose. The dealer fixed it under warranty while the car was in the shop for a scheduled oil change.
100 mi
Driver rear quarter glass, one closes to the rear, has 2 deep scratched and 1 fine hairline crack. I was cleaning my car one month and 50 miles after delivery & noticed the scratches. I do not drive this car often & it is the only car in my garage with nothing else inside it that can cause this. Subaru is known for glass problems so this is not surprising.
Roof rack rubber weather seal was wrinkled. Covered under warranty. Identical problem was covered under TSB on earlier VINs but this car is after the cutoff.
