Subaru is recalling approximately 4,030 of its 2023 Impreza vehicles because the brake light switch may be improperly adjusted. This defect can cause the brake lights to stay on even when the driver is not pressing the brake pedal, and it may also allow the vehicle to be started or shifted out of 'Park' without the brake pedal being depressed. Owners should contact an authorized Subaru dealer to have the switch gap inspected and adjusted at no cost.
If the brake lights illuminate unintentionally, other drivers may not realize when you are actually braking, increasing the risk of a rear-end collision. Additionally, if the vehicle can be shifted out of 'Park' without pressing the brake, it could unexpectedly roll away and cause a crash or injury.
