According to several reports, the companies have announced the recalls for differing reasons.  The details for each automobile recall are described below:

1. Honda Pilot Recall - This Honda recall affects the Honda Pilot model that was manufactured between 2009 and 2011, which includes 311,000 units.  The reason for this Honda recall is because of problems with the stitching on its front seat belts that could lead to a lack of protection during a crash.
2. Subaru Legacy and Outback Recalls - Subaru announced that it was recalling almost 200,000 Legacy and Outback units manufactured in 2010 and 2011 because the wiper motors in them showed a tendency to overheat.
3. Subaru Impreza, Forester and Saab 9-2x Recalls - The 2002–7 Impreza, 2003–8 Forester and 2005-6 Saab models were recalled because of a tendency for the front control arm to break if corroded, which would make the vehicle extremely difficult to control.  These recalls affect almost 300,000 vehicles.

These vehicle recalls will now become part of the overall statistics regarding United States automobile recalls overall.  Every year in recent times, more than 14 million vehicles have been recalled for one reason or another.
