Subaru Corporation has announced a recall involving the Forester 2014 \u2013 2016 model year<\/strong>, WRX (4-door) 2011 \u2013 2014 model year<\/strong>, Impreza 2008 \u2013 2016 model year<\/strong>, and XV 2012 \u2013 2017 model year<\/strong> due to brake light switch issues.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The issue arises from silicone gas which comes from certain consumer products that may seep through the housing of the brake light switch. The resulting effect would stop the operation of functions related to the brake light switch \u2013 Brake light, Transmission Interlock, Ignition Interlock, Vehicle Dynamics Control and EyeSight. If the defect occurs, the brake lights will not light up and may cause other users to be unaware of the driver\u2019s intention to stop the vehicle. This increases the risk of accidental collisions.<\/p>\n
