2012 Subaru IMPREZA Wheels Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1050294
Internal NHTSA #	10574491

Model Year	2012
File date	15/03/14
Component	WHEELS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Unable to change flat tire. The wheel-nut or lug-nut torque required by subaru is 89ft lbs. This torque was the torque on my wheel-nuts, as verified twice by a new-tire sales facility. With subaru's 11 1/2" wrench, most women and many men (myself included) cannot loosen these nuts. My weightlifting neighbor could not believe he could not loosen the lug-nuts with the supplied wrench. They are that tight! The owner's manual cautions not to stand on the wrench. This condition can leave someone stranded, perhaps in a dangerous area, or under dangerous conditions. Subaru should verify this problem, by having individuals try to loosen the nuts. Anyone with this vehicle (do other models also have this condition?) is advised to figure a way to remove these nuts before an emergency occurs.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
