Description of the problem	Subaru outbacks have defective dte (distance to empty) computer code that will run you out of gas with readings like "30 miles to empty" or "40 miles to empty" i feel this is a safety issue as the general expectation is every car out there gets you to 0 and has a reserve. I ran out of gas in motion on a city street 2 miles from a gas station with "30 miles to empty" displayed. Sat on side of road at 1am for 40 minutes waiting for gas. Imagine if this happened to someone in a tunnel, in the left lane on a busy 5 lane highway, etc. This has been complained about on a popular outback message board http://www. Subaruoutback.

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?
