How To Handle a Subaru Impreza Recall

In the last few years, Subaru has issued multiple Subaru Impreza recalls as well as recalls on other Subaru models. When car manufacturers make mistakes, the costs can be deadly to people driving the vehicle. That's why finding out about recalls and getting them fixed is essential for any car owner and should be done as soon as possible.

Finding and submitting a claim for a Subaru Impreza recall can be a challenge. Many cars are created each year, and not every car will come with the same safety issues. Thankfully, there's an easier solution for finding a Subaru recall for your Impreza model. Our handy online service can help you find any recall on your car and get the problem fixed right away.

How Do I Make a Claim for the Subaru Impreza Recall?

First things first, you need to find out what your vehicle might have been recalled for. Then, you'll need to talk to Subaru to get the problem fixed. Here are a few steps you can take.

1. Find the Correct Recall

On September 1st of 2021, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a Subaru Impreza recall on at least 802 2021 vehicles. The recall stated that a "lower control arm weld on the front driver's side may fail on affected vehicles." This failure could lead to tires hitting the wheel well and causing a crash.

However, according to cars.com, several other recalls have been issued on various Subaru Impreza models as well. These include:

To determine the best next steps, you'll need to determine which Impreza model you have and which recall applies to it. To do so, you can enter your VIN on Subaru's website. You can also find this information on the NHTSA website or by calling 888-327-4236.

2. Contact Subaru

Once you've found the correct recall on your vehicle, you can reach out to Subaru's customer support team for more information. They should be able to explain the process of claiming a recall for your car. The number for customer service is 1-800-782-2783, while for recent recalls, the number you should call is 1-844-373-6614.

3. Get Your Car Fixed

After you contact them, Subaru will probably ask you to come in and get your car checked out. Subaru team members will make sure your vehicle has no faulty parts that could cause a crash. They will replace the faulty part free of charge and get you back on the roads if they find an issue.

As you can see, the process is fairly straightforward as long as you have the time to talk to Subaru and as long as the customer support members know what they're talking about. Then, all you have to do is find the right time to drive over to your local dealership and get your Impreza fixed.

How Do I Find Updates on the Subaru Impreza Recall?

Every time a recall occurs, Subaru sends out letters to the owners of the recalled vehicle. It's important that you pay attention to notices you receive in the mail that might indicate a recall.

However, it is certainly possible (and indeed, easy) to miss a recall letter. Whether it got swept up in your junk mail or went to the wrong address, you could have received a recall notice without realizing it. In that case, it's important to have a backup plan in place for finding out about recalls.

1. One way to find out about recalls as they happen is to keep an eye on your vehicle status on Subaru's website. If a recall is issued, it will show up first on your health status screen.
2. Another way is to add the NHTSA's SaferCar App to your phone and enter your car VIN and other product information (i.e., on car seats, trailers, etc.). The app will alert you when a recall goes out.

If you're like most people, you might not be interested in constantly checking the Subaru website or downloading yet another app to your already full phone. So, is there an easier way to find out about the Subaru Impreza recall on your car and get it reported? There is!
