Subaru of America, Inc. is recalling approximately 35,357 of its 2024 Crosstrek and Impreza vehicles. Due to a design issue with insufficient clearance, a wiring harness in the instrument panel can rub against a steering beam bracket, which wears down the wire insulation and can lead to a short circuit. This defect can cause a sudden loss of drive power while the vehicle is in motion, which could lead to a crash.
The instrument panel harness may contact the steering beam bracket, damaging the wire insulation and causing a short circuit. A short circuit while driving may cause the engine to stall or a loss of power, significantly increasing the risk of a collision.
Dealers will inspect the harness and install an additional clamp on the steering beam bracket.
