Label

Issue Description

On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French.

Safety Risk

These small errors do not affect vehicle safety.

Corrective Action & Repair

This is not a recall. Subaru has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.

Electrical

Issue Description

On certain vehicles, water could enter the inhibitor switch and cause it to fail. If this happens, the backup lamps may not turn on and the rearview camera image may not display when backing up. This could also cause the gear selection indicator in the instrument panel not to be displayed.

Safety Risk

Backup lamps that don't work could cause others not to recognize when a vehicle is backing up. A rearview camera image that doesn't 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 Action & Repair

Subaru will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the inhibitor switch.

Electrical

Issue Description

On certain Crosstrek Hybrid models, the harness terminal that supplies low-voltage power from the converter to the 12 V battery could corrode. Over time, the terminal could break and cause the 12 V battery not to charge. If this happens, the vehicle could suddenly lose drive power.

Safety Risk

A loss of power may increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action & Repair

Subaru will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the converter terminal mounting bracket. The dealer will also inspect the 12 V output terminals. If there is no corrosion, the dealer will install a protective cap on the terminals. If corrosion is found, the dealer will replace the 12 V output harness and terminals.

Other

Issue Description

On certain Crosstrek plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French.

Safety Risk

This error does not affect vehicle safety.

Corrective Action & Repair

This is not a recall. Subaru has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.
