A Message to Our Valued Owners:

We would like to thank you for your selection of a Subaru vehicle. We take pride in our products and are committed to your continued satisfaction.

Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is initiating a new safety recall for certain 2023 model year Impreza vehicles that may contain a stop lamp switch that was improperly adjusted during assembly.

During the manufacturing of the brake pedal assembly, the brake lamp switch may not have been appropriately adjusted to allow the specified gap between the switch and the stopper. This potential condition may cause the brake lamps to illuminate without application of the brake pedal.

Brake lamp illumination without driver input may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
