2021 SUBARU CROSSTREKTransport Canada Recall #2023607
The official notice
Defect
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.
Remedy
Subaru will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the inhibitor switch.
