Subaru Crosstrek, Forester, Impreza, WRX Front Driveshaft Can Break high

Reported 2023-11-09 · Campaign 23V754000 · Model years: 2023

A driveshaft is the spinning bar that carries power from the engine out to a front wheel. On these vehicles, part of that shaft can crack and break. If it breaks while you are driving, the vehicle can lose power to the wheels. If it breaks while the vehicle is parked and the parking brake is not set, the vehicle can roll away on its own. The dealer inspects both front driveshafts and replaces either one if needed, free of charge.

Subaru WRX owner's manual gives wrong high-beam instructions low

Reported 2023-01-23 · Campaign 23V016000 · Model years: 2022

Your 2022 WRX has Subaru's EyeSight camera system, which includes High Beam Assist, the feature that flips your high beams on and off by itself. The owner's manual printed the wrong steps for changing how sensitive that feature is. If you follow those steps, the headlights may not behave the way you expect at night. Nothing is broken on the car itself, only the book is wrong, and Subaru is mailing a corrected page.

Subaru WRX backup lights and camera may stop working medium

Reported 2022-07-21 · Campaign 22V522000 · Model years: 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021

On certain 2015-2021 Subaru WRX cars, the switch that tells the car you have shifted into reverse can corrode and stop working. When it fails, the white backup lights at the rear do not come on, and the backup camera picture does not appear on the screen. That leaves you with a poorer view behind the car, and people walking or driving nearby get no light telling them you are reversing, so a crash is more likely.

Subaru, Toyota 86 fuel pump can quit while driving high

Reported 2021-07-29 · Campaign 21V587000 · Model years: 2018, 2019

The low-pressure fuel pump sits inside the gas tank and pushes fuel toward the engine. In these vehicles that pump can fail. If it quits, the engine can stall and shut off while you are driving, and you would lose engine power with little warning. A stall in traffic, at highway speed, or in an intersection can easily lead to a crash. The dealer replaces the pump inside the tank with a new one.
