2006 Subaru OUTBACK Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	965187
Internal NHTSA #	10498538
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2006
File date	15/01/13
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Rear wiper ceased functioning. The problem was due to broken wire(s) in a wiring harness that passes through a rubber accordion boot between the car body and the tail-gate (near the right-hand tailgate hinge). Many of the other wires, affecting upper brake light, license plate lights, backup lights, and tailgate latch/lock, were frayed and were replaced due to imminent failure of the above listed components. Research at an online forum for subaru owners showed that many other owners (of 2005 and 2006 subaru outbacks) have experienced similar failures due to broken wires in this wiring harness. I suspect that it is an under-reported problem. I believe that subaru should be asked to issue a safety recall notice.
