NHTSA recall 23V292000
Exterior Lighting · Subaru of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Subaru of america, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2023 Impreza vehicles. The brake light switch may be improperly adjusted and illuminate the brake lights without application of the brake pedal. The vehicle may also allow drivers to start and shift the transmission out of the park position without pressing the brake pedal. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle…
Why it matters: An unintentional brake light illumination can fail to alert other motorists of actual brake application. A vehicle that shifts out of the park position unexpectedly can allow the vehicle to rollaway. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the gap between the brake light switch and stopper, adjusting the switch as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 23, 2023.
