What's wrong: Subaru of america, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2022 impreza and outback vehicles. The incorrect paint clearcoat May have been applied, which can cause the windshield to be insufficiently bonded to the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 212, "windshield mounting."
Why it matters: An insufficiently bonded windshield can detach during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Subaru will offer owners a vehicle exchange or repurchase, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 21, 2022.
