NHTSA has flagged at least one campaign below as a “do not drive” recall. Contact a dealer before using the car again — the repair is free.
A campaign usually covers only part of a model year's production, so it may not apply to a particular car. Check the VIN to be certain.
NHTSA campaign 21V675000 · Subaru of America, Inc.
Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2021 Impreza vehicles. The left-front lower control arm weld may fail, allowing the control arm to separate from the crossmember.

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the repair is complete. Dealers will inspect and replace the control arm as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 3, 2021. Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is WRI-21.
