Subaru Recall WVG-17: Electronic Stability Control Sensor
2009 Subaru Tribeca
If the sensor was improperly installed, vehicle handling characteristics during hard braking, sudden turns or other quick maneuvers could cause the vehicle to react in an unexpected manner or result in unstable handling. Under extreme conditions, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and a crash could occur.
