Subaru welding fail means thousands of new cars are headed to the scrap heap

At least they caught it fairly early into the run (2100 units) rather than later. Most were undelivered too. Unlike that BMW X1 issue that affects almost 100k units…

I read elsewhere that it is something like half a week of cars which, don’t get me wrong, is a lot and apparently the issue is a big maybe - as in, the tool may have worked fine and it might not have. They’re doing a buyback to be overly cautious.

I was also under the impression that they could repair the cars and possibly resell them once the weld is repaired.
