This week Honda and Subaru have issued recalls for thousands of vehicles. Nearly 311,000 2009-2011 Honda Pilots and more than 500,000 Subaru models are affected by the recall, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Honda believes a possible defect in the front seatbelts could potentially result in injury during a crash. The automaker found missing or incomplete stitching on the seatbelts may cause them to disconnect from the anchor webbing, which would not properly protect occupants in an accident.

Subaru is recalling 2010-2011 Outbacks and Legacies for a possibly dangerous malfunction in the vehicles’ wiper motor. The malfunction could cause the motor to become overheated and catch on fire. 2002-2007 Imprezas, 2005-2006 Saab 9-2xes, and 2003-2008 Foresters are also being recalled after reports of the front control arms breaking. At least two drivers lost control of their vehicles after the front control arms corroded and broke.
