2023 Subaru WRX Recalls

The 2023 Subaru WRX has 2 recalls, both centered on the same serious drivetrain issue: front axle components that can crack and break, cutting drive power while moving or allowing the vehicle to roll away when parked without the parking brake applied.

If the axle fails while driving, the wheels lose power and the car becomes difficult to control, raising the risk of a crash. When parked on any incline without the parking brake set, a broken axle can allow the vehicle to roll freely.
