snowscamper Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) My 1998 legacy just had its left front coil spring break off and it still runs fine but is a safety issue. I had the spring coil safety guard put in under a recall notice 10 years ago and the recall does state if any coil springs breaks afterwards(corrosion) a new spring will be installed no charge. So I am calling local Subaru dealer tomorrow as I got proof of the recall notice, Vin # and past records. I am assuming Subaru will repair the one spring free. My concern is if other damage was done by a faulty spring like needing a new cv boot as an example. Does Subaru cover only the spring even if a broken coil caused other damage? What if other spring coil on left side is weak? Seems like common sense to do both. I was unclear about that reading the recall. Any experience with them appreciated. I expect I may get some resistance given the car is 16 years old, but they last long. Edited August 3, 2014 by snowscamper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Likely they will on;y fix the spring...... it's breaking wouldn't affect the CVs, or other things unless the broken spring punctured the tire I bet they will not do anything but the spring.
