What the source says
The documented condition
NHTSA lists the 2020 Subaru Outback in safety campaign 19V664000. The official record says: The brake pedal mounting bracket may have a missing or insufficiently tightened bolt. The stated safety consequence is: A missing or loose bolt may cause the brake pedal mounting area to deform over time, which can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash. A make, model and year match does not confirm that a specific VIN is included or that the repair remains open.
