Subaru of America announced Friday it was recalling 285,000 front-wheel drive cars because of possible rear suspension corrosion.i

The models affected include the 1980 to 1984 Subaru front-wheel drive sedan, hatchback and hardtop models. The automaker said it also was recalling the 1985 and 1986 front-wheel drive hatchback models.i

Subaru said the rear suspension of the vehicles could be corroded in areas of the country where large quantities of road salt are used. The corrosion could make operation and control of the vehicle difficult, the company said.i

Subaru said owners of the recalled vehicles are being notified to return the car to a Subara dealer, where the suspension will be inspected and rust-proofed or replaced.
