The low-pressure fuel pump in your vehicle is a crucial part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In certain 2018-2020 Subaru and Toyota models, this pump could fail without warning.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pump fails on the road, your engine will suddenly stall, losing power steering and brakes. This could make it hard to control your vehicle and increase the chance of a collision.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a reliable one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible, and you can call 1-844-373-6614 for more information.

The rearview camera display in your Subaru is connected to the audio system. In some 2018 Legacy, Outback, and BRZ models, the software that controls this display might not work properly, so you won't see the camera view when you're backing up.
Risk if Unfixed
If you can't see what's behind you while backing up, you're more likely to crash into something or someone. This is a serious safety concern, as it increases your risk of a rear-end collision.
Free Fix
Your Subaru dealer will update the software for your audio system, so you can see the rearview camera image again – and it's completely free. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.

As a result, the vehicles fail to comply with requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."

Your vehicle's software is like the brain of your car's computer. In some 2018 Subaru Legacys and Outbacks, there's an error in this software that could cause your low fuel warning light to come on too late or not at all, and your miles-to-empty display to show a false number.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, you might think you have more gas than you do, and drive until your tank is completely empty. This could cause your vehicle to stall, making it harder to control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Subaru dealer will update your vehicle's software for free. This is a quick and easy fix, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
