Details

What's wrong: Subaru of america, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2022 WRX vehicles equipped with the "eyesight" feature. The owner's manual may contain incorrect instructions for adjusting the sensitivity of the high beam assist function. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

Why it matters: Incorrect instructions for adjusting the sensitivity of the high beam assist function contained in the owner's manual may cause the lights to not be adjusted as intended, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Subaru will mail an owner's manual insert containing the correct information, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 15, 2023.
