## NHTSA's summary

This bulletin announces availability of reprogramming files to optimize the EyeSight camera unit. In some cases, when using the Adaptive Cruise Control feature, the EyeSight system may stop functioning, enter a fail\-safe mode and store DTC B280B\- VDC ABNORMAL. When the EyeSight system is inoperative, the vehicle operates like a traditional vehicle not equipped with this feature. Normal EyeSight system function is restored after cycling the ignition off and back on again.

- [WQS\-54](/bulletins/10140559.md), 2018-06-11, Service bulletin: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL; LANE DEPARTURE: LANE KEEP: STEERING ASSIST; FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: DYNAMIC BRAKE SUPPORT/BRAKE ASSIST; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Subaru of America, Inc. \(SOA\) is recalling certain 2015 model year Subaru Legacy, Subaru Outback, Subaru Impreza \(4Door and 5Door\) and Subaru XV Crosstrek vehicles and certain 2016MY Subaru WRX vehicles equipped with a Driver Assist System. The programming of the Driver Assist System will not detect a fault in one of the associated system components. In the event of Brake Lamp Switch \(BLS\) failure, the Vehicle Dynamic Control \(VDC\) correctly detects the BLS failure, but the Driver Assist System will be delayed in detecting the BLS failure. Therefore, it will take longer for the multi information display to inform the driver of a malfunction. In addition, VDC will not receive the brake request from the Driver Assist System, resulting in no automatic braking, including Adaptive Cruise Control and PreCollision Braking.
