Subaru is recalling certain BRZ vehicles and Toyota GR86 vehicles because the rear turn signals may stop working from time to time. The problem may come and go rather than staying constant. Dealers will replace both rear combination lamp assemblies, the units that hold the rear lights, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed January 8, 2024. Subaru owners and Toyota owners each have their own customer service line for this recall.
The low-pressure fuel pump, located inside the fuel tank, may fail on these vehicles. If the pump fails, the engine can stall while the vehicle is being driven. To fix the issue, dealers will replace the low-pressure fuel pump. This repair is free of charge, and it applies to a number of affected Subaru models as well as the Toyota 86.
Subaru is recalling certain Legacy, Outback, and BRZ vehicles. A software problem can keep the audio display system from starting up, and when that happens the camera display stays blank. If that occurs, the rear camera image will not appear while you are backing up. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rearview mirror safety standard. Dealers will reprogram the audio system display software at no charge. Subaru has notified owners, and the recall began February 5, 2019.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
