The short version
Subaru of America, Inc. reported a problem with the back up lights switch. Here is what owners need to know.
The backup light switch may corrode and become inoperative, which can result in the backup lights not illuminating and the rearview camera image not displaying when the vehicle is in reverse.
Inoperative backup lights and an inoperative rearview camera can reduce vehicle visibility and driver awareness, increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect and replace the backup light switch, as necessary, free of charge.
