Moisture can get inside the gearbox and disrupt the electrical connections on the mode selection switch circuit board. This can result in the vehicle failing to discern the engaged gear position, causing the reverse light not to illuminate and the rearview monitor to fail to display the image from the rearview camera. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
The Subaru Outback vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 2021 and 2023.
