Description of the problem	Right rear coil spring broke on my 2015 subaru forster. Was not aware when it happened. Took car to a garage on 5/2/2020 to rotate the tires, and the mechanic immediately discovered it. Spring was loose and could be moved freely up and down by mechanic's hand. Right rear of car was sagging, almost down on the rear tire. Saw many many similar complaints on internet on both rear springs for 2014 and 2015 foresters like my 2015 forester. Heard that subaru in japan already issued a recall for this safety issue. And that a recall in america may be forthcoming. Meanwhile, we forester owners are at risk while driving with faulty springs. Most others said it looked like the coil rusted from the inside out. Also that the replacement spring had 8 coils instead of the oem 6 coil springs, and some kind of tape or plastic coating the bottom coils. Everyone recommended getting springs, and possibly the enclosed struts, on both sides be replaced since struts may have suffered damaged while driving with faulty springs. Please help remedy this current safety problem, and require subaru to issue a formal recall in america. Thank you.
