2017 SUBARU IMPREZA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Subaru Impreza has 14 recalls, the most serious being two separate engine issues that can cut power while driving: a faulty crankcase ventilation valve that can break apart and damage the engine internally, and an engine control module that can cause the ignition coils to overheat, short-circuit, and blow a fuse, leaving the car unable to restart. A related fuel system issue can cause engine stalls as well: in cold weather, winter blend fuel can vaporize prematurely in the fuel line, dropping fuel pressure enough to stall the engine. There is also a separate software threshold problem where the radiator cooling fan may not activate soon enough when running winter blend fuels, which can affect fuel temperature management. On the visibility side, the rearview camera can fail to display properly when reversing, either showing a blank screen or freezing, due to a software problem in the infotainment system. The brake light switch on certain vehicles may not reliably illuminate the brake lights, meaning drivers behind may not see the car slowing. Headlight and reflector concerns round out the list: the side reflex reflectors and left low beam reflector may not meet lighting standards, making the vehicle harder for others to see and potentially creating glare for oncoming traffic. This last group of recalls only affects vehicles with halogen headlamps.
