Ahm Agonna Have to Have a Torque with that Boy

Post by Rope-Pusher »

A stern torquing to at Subaru's Indiana plant?

"If you thought you've had some rough weeks at work lately, consider the worker at Subaru's plant in Indiana whose misuse of a torque wrench led to a recall of nearly 400 vehicles.

In a filing with NHTSA, Subaru said 314 Outbacks and 69 Imprezas could have a loose nut on the transmission select lever cable.

The document explains that Subaru found the problem during assembly line sampling and quickly isolated the issue to "a single associate assigned to a specific production line ... using an improper torque wrench technique" during the person's first week doing that task."
