Transport Canada recalls
03- Lights And Instruments#2022394
7,975 units affected
Issue: Over time, the backup lamp switch could corrode and fail. If this happens, the backup lamps will not turn on when the transmission is shifted into reverse and the shift position will not display. Additionally, for vehicles equipped with a rearview camera, the camera image will not appear on the display in the instrument cluster. Safety Risk: Backup lamps that do not work properly could cause a person not to recognize that the vehicle is backing. A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. These issues could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Subaru will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect, and if necessary, replace the backup lamp switch.
- Tires#2021209
1,312 units affected
Issue: Certain vehicles were built with tires that may have been cured too long. As a result, the sidewall could crack or the tread and belts could separate. This could cause a tire failure and lead to sudden loss of air pressure. Note: This recall only affects certain 16 inch Continental tires, with specific date codes and mould numbers. Safety Risk: A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Subaru will notify the owners by mail and instruct them to take the vehicle to a dealer to inspect all four tires. If one tire is affected, all four tires will be replaced.
