## What is wrong

Subaru of America, Inc. \(Subaru\) is recalling certain 2015\-2021 WRX vehicles.  The backup light switch may corrode and become inoperative, which can result in the backup lights not illuminating and the rearview camera image not displaying when the vehicle is in reverse.


## What can happen

Inoperative backup lights and an inoperative rearview camera can reduce vehicle visibility and driver awareness, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the backup light switch, as necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed September 16, 2022.  Owners may contact Subaru's customer service at 1\-844\-373\-6614.  Subaru's number for this recall is WRE\-22.


## Notes
