Full recall reportIssue: On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere".

Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. Subaru has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.
