Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2024 Crosstrek, Impreza, 2023-2024 Forester, and 2023 WRX vehicles. The front driveshaft assemblies' outer race may develop cracks and break.
Risk if Unfixed
A broken driveshaft can cause a loss of drive power while driving or vehicle rollaway when the vehicle is in park without the parking brake engaged. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the left and right front driveshafts as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 8, 2024. Owners may contact Subaru's customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is WRP-23.
There's a potential issue with the engine water pipe in your vehicle, which might not be securely attached.
Risk if Unfixed
If the water pipe leaks, it could come into contact with a hot exhaust pipe, which could cause a fire.
Free Fix
Don't worry, Subaru will take care of it for FREE - their technicians will simply tighten the water pipe attachment bolts when the vehicle is serviced.
