Recall 22V-712: Visibility

Reported Sep 22, 2022 · 42 vehicles affected · Subaru of America, Inc.

Problem: Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2022 Impreza and Outback vehicles.

Fix: Subaru will offer owners a vehicle exchange or repurchase, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 21, 2022. Owners may contact Subaru's customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is WRH-22.

I purchased the car brand new from the dealership. The vehicle had two bent rims in the first two years. I replaced those rims with brand new rims from the Subaru dealership, but those first bent rims also caused premature tire wear. Now about a year later I now have two more bent rims on a new set of replacement tires that are beginning to prematurely wear again. These are not on a consistent side of the vehicle but have been spread out.

The only way we are able to fix it is to take it to a Subaru dealership who insist there isn't an issue. I am not sure what to do but it seems like there is a consistent issue with the car model.
Power Train · reported Jun 24, 2025
Front wheels locked up while doing 75 miles an hour. Per shop the transmission locked up. There were no signs of transmission failure car ran perfectly fine and had been serviced and new tires 7 days before. This could have caused a very serious accident.
