## What is wrong

Subaru of America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2021 Crosstrek, 2022 Forester, 2021\-2023 Legacy, and Outback vehicles.  An insufficient weld may allow water to enter the inhibitor switch, causing it to fail.


## What can happen

An inoperative inhibitor switch may prevent the reverse lights from illuminating and the rearview camera image from displaying, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the inhibitor switch, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed January 8, 2024.  Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1\-800\-782\-2783.  Subaru's number for this recall is WRQ\-23.
