2022 Subaru Impreza, Subaru Outback: Visibility recall
NHTSA campaign 22V712000 · 42 units potentially affected · filed Sep 22, 2022
What's wrong
Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2022 Impreza and Outback vehicles. The incorrect paint clearcoat may have been applied, which can cause the windshield to be insufficiently bonded to the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 212, "Windshield Mounting."
Why it matters
An insufficiently bonded windshield can detach during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Subaru will offer owners a vehicle exchange or repurchase, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 21, 2022. Owners may contact Subaru's customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is WRH-22.
