Known Safety Recalls

Critical #23V755000 Plain English
Component

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH

Manufacturer
Subaru of America, Inc.
What Happened
The park/neutral start interlock switch is a safety switch that helps you shift gears safely. In your Crosstrek, Forester, Legacy, or Outback, this switch might not be properly sealed, allowing water to seep in and cause it to fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inhibitor switch fails, your reverse lights won't turn on, and your rearview camera might not show an image. This could make it harder to see what's behind your vehicle when you're reversing, increasing the risk of a collision.
Free Fix
Your Subaru dealer will replace the faulty switch with a new one, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice, and it's free.
