Bought a 2020 forester new for my wife, figured I would join to share some information from my latest dealer trip for warranty work stated by the tech.
The rear bearings will go out before 60k on most. Mine went out at 41k, both sides. Caused tire wear and rear brake wear. The had to replace the knuckle on one side under warranty because the factory over tightened a few bolts and they had to cut it out.
Expect this to happen sooner than later. Told to keep a eye out for any rear end noise like bearings and uneven tire wear. Remedy asap since they will not cover rear rotors or pads under this warranty job. Southern climate vehicle, not in the snow at all.
