The 2015 Subaru Impreza WRX has 2 recalls, the more serious involving the electrical wiring for the factory-installed trunk subwoofer, which luggage can push out of position.
The second recall affects the backup lamp switch, which can corrode and stop working over time. When it fails, the reverse lights do not come on, the gear position indicator stops showing reverse, and on vehicles with a rearview camera, the camera image does not appear on the display, reducing visibility behind the car when backing up.
