Description of the problem	I have owned over 20+ cars ranging from 4runners, s2000, to lancer evo. My 2013 outback is by far the hardest car to steer on the highway. It wanders to both directions at highway speeds and its difficult to correct it back to center. Some owners have been accused of driving drunk in a outback, subaru needs to fix this before loosing your most loyal owners! Many 2012 2013 outback owners have been calling this issue stiff, heavy, hard, not return to center steering. Here are my observations after some research: -2013+ new fb25 engine 2nd gen cvt returned suspension -i also own a 2014 forester with electric steering (drives normal), outback has hydraulic steering -i test drove couple other 2013 outback 2. 5i same firm steering -i test drove a 2013 outback 3. 6r (steering feels normal much softer) -check steering effort should not have more than 6. 6 lb (measured with scale) -some owners had success readjusting their gearbox backlash to less than 3 lbs go to: http://www.

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.
