What are the defects?
Due to a manufacturing issue, the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) inhibitor switch may not be sealed sufficiently allowing moisture to enter potentially causing corrosion of the circuit board. As a result, the reverse lamps may not illuminate and/or the rear-view camera may not display the rear-view image whilst reversing as intended.
What are the hazards?
If the reverse lamps and/or the rear-view camera do not operate as intended, it may impact the safety of other traffic, or any persons located behind the vehicle increasing the risk of an accident-causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles can book their vehicle for a free rectification at any authorised Subaru Service Centre Australia-wide or book online by visiting our website at subaru.com.au/retailers and simply enter your postcode and select “Service” from the Department drop down menu.
