Subaru brake light switch may be improperly adjusted and illuminate the brake lights without application of the brake pedal.
The short version
Subaru of America, Inc. reported a problem with the brake lights switch. Here is what owners need to know.
The brake light switch may be improperly adjusted and illuminate the brake lights without application of the brake pedal. The vehicle may also allow drivers to start and shift the transmission out of the PARK position without pressing the brake pedal.
An unintentional brake light illumination can fail to alert other motorists of actual brake application. A vehicle that shifts out of the park position unexpectedly can allow the vehicle to rollaway.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the gap between the brake light switch and stopper, adjusting the switch as necessary, free of charge.
