Important WRX Recall
I'm not sure if anyone here is aware of this and I did a search to see if it was posted. I received a call from my good friend at Carr Subaru. He had mentioned that they have sent out several letters concerning some recalls. However, the names and address of all of the customers do not match up anymore and they really want to get the word out about these two recalls. Even if you don't go to Carr Subaru, they are still concerned because these a "Safety" related. If you would like to check your car to see if it's on the recall list, you can email your VIN to: chbradshaw@carrauto.com

Your car still shows a recall on the FRONT DRIVERS SEAT ASSEMBLY. We would like to get your car in to perform this recall for you. We will install an improved bolt assembly. There is no cost to you. Subaru will cover all costs associated with this repair.
It is important that you have this recall done as soon as possible. If the bolt were to loosen due to stress caused by normal movement there is a possibility the seat could separate from the slide in a collision, which could pose a hazard. You may call us at 503-520-4102 and schedule an appointment today.
We hope to hear from you soon and help you resolve this issue.

abs recall... read the post. Aparently there are a lot of people out there that STILL haven't had it done. Also, it has to do with the "front seat bolts" and the "cruise control". there are two recalls...
