Subaru Recall 22V-624: Exterior lighting – headlights

Affected: 2017–2019 Subaru Impreza. Filed with NHTSA on August 12, 2022, covering about 188,397 vehicles.

The problem

Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Impreza vehicles. The left and right side reflex reflector and left side low beam reflector may inadequately reflect light. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

Reflectors that do not provide adequate illumination reduce the driver's ability to see and increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace the front headlamp assemblies, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 15, 2023. Owners may contact Subaru's customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is WRG-22.
