Yes, in order to comply with Curt's warranty for the # C13135 trailer hitch on your 2014 Subaru Crosstrek, you will want to use a stabilization strap like # 18050.

I have attached the installation instructions for the hitch. On the first page of the instructions, there is a note stating Curt recommends the use of the stabilization strap.
