Transport Canada recall 2025456

A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system to enter a failsafe mode. If this happens, the windshield defroster may not work properly.

Note: This problem could cause an "EV System Malfunction" or "Drive Start Control Malfunction" message to display.

Safety Risk:

A windshield defroster that doesn't work properly could cause reduced visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Subaru will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the HVAC system electronic control unit software. The dealer will also inspect and, if necessary, replace the electrical compressor.
