November 2000 Injury

Right rear wheel bearing went at 53,743 miles on my 1995 subaru impreza. Subaru had a TSB and used legacy bearings for the fix. If not fixed tire can separate from car and lose control.

Reported at 53,743 miles, July 2000

At 53743 miles right wheel bearing went, fixed by dealer. I noticed the same noise again at 78378, only 24,635 later the right rear wheel bearing needed to be replaced again. I called subaru and they told me it was a wear item. This should not have happened twice and feel this is a safety issue, I could have lost control of vehicle.
