Subaru of America, Inc.: 2022 Impreza and Outback Recalled for Windshield Detachment Risk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Subaru of America is recalling approximately 42 of its 2022 Impreza and 2022 Outback vehicles because the windshields may not be properly attached. An incorrect paint clearcoat used during manufacturing can prevent the windshield from bonding securely to the vehicle's frame. Subaru will offer affected owners a full vehicle exchange or a vehicle repurchase free of charge to resolve this safety non-compliance issue.

Risk

If the windshield is not sufficiently bonded, it can detach from the vehicle during a crash. This failure to meet federal safety standards significantly increases the risk of injury to occupants during a collision.
