Subaru of America, Inc. is recalling approximately 95,830 vehicles, including 2021 Crosstrek, 2022 Forester, and 2021-2023 Legacy and Outback models. An assembly defect involves an insufficient weld that may allow water to enter the inhibitor switch, causing it to malfunction. This failure can prevent the reverse lights from turning on and stop the rearview camera image from appearing when the vehicle is in reverse. Owners will be provided with a free replacement inhibitor switch at their local dealership.
If the inhibitor switch fails, the rearview camera image will not display and the backup lights will not illuminate while reversing. This significantly reduces the driver's visibility and fails to warn others that the vehicle is backing up, which increases the risk of a crash.
Free replacement of the inhibitor switch by Subaru dealers.
