2013 Subaru OUTBACK Seats Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	968693
Internal NHTSA #	10502116
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2013
File date	06/03/13
Component	SEATS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Seat head rest is too far forward and upper seat contours backward, putting pressure on neck and affecting spine. Seat needs added support (with a small upper back support and probably a lumbar support) to take pressure off the neck and get the head free from being pushed. Neck should be straight. Over time this will damage the spine if the headrest isn't made adjustable or support added to the seat. I'm adding support to the seat from aftermarket cushioning to get the pressure off my head/neck. Would like an adjustable headrest as was included in the 2013 subaru impreza to get the headrest off the head (and the pressure off the neck, to get my neck and back straight). --- i am worried about receiving spam so didn't want to fill out some of the extra info asked for.

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.
