## What is wrong

Subaru of America, Inc. \(Subaru\) is recalling certain model year 2015 Legacy vehicles manufactured March 10, 2014, to April 16, 2015, Outback vehicles manufactured February 24, 2014, to April 16, 2015, Impreza vehicles manufactured September 9, 2014, to April 14, 2015, XV Crosstrek vehicles manufactured October 16, 2014, to April 15, 2015, and 2016 WRX vehicles manufactured March 23, 2015, and equipped with the Eyesight Driver Assist System.  If the switch that activates the brake lights fails, the automatic pre\-collision braking component of the driver assist system will not function.


## What can happen

If the automatic pre\-collision braking system does not function as intended, the vehicle will not react to an obstacle in its path, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the driver assist system, free of charge.  The recall began on July 20, 2015.  Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1\-800\-782\-2783.  Subaru's number for this recall is WQS\-54.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
