2016 Subaru FORESTER Wheels Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1271928
Internal NHTSA #	10852172
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	FORESTER
Model Year	2016
File date	20/01/16
Component	WHEELS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The base model steel wheel has a trough running around the inside of the wheel, two inches wide and one inch deep. Snow packs into the wheels, melts, and overnight the water that accumulates in the trough at the base of the wheel freezes solidly. It will not break loose. This ice block is the equivalent of a very large wheel balance weight. The car shakes violently at speeds over 45 mph. This represents a significant immediate safety issue as well as a long term safety issue due to the likely damage to the alignment and front end of the vehicle. This happened twice within six weeks. The dealer's response was to take it to car wash. I wrote subaru of america and was told they will pass my experience on to new product development.

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
