Issue: On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: These small errors do not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. Subaru has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.
We checked the EU Safety Gate for recall alerts naming this model and its production years.

Due to improper Engine Control Module (ECM) programming, the ignition coil may be energized longer than designed after the engine is switched off. If the ignition coil remains energized for a long time, its internal temperature may increase which could cause a short circuit, increasing the risk of electric shock and fire. Production: The affected vehicles were manufactured between 2017 and 2020.. Types: e1*2007/46*0597*, e13*2007/46*1648*, e13*2007/46*1648* (IMPREZA/XV); e13*2007/46*1648* (IMPREZA); e13*2007/46*1305*, e13*2007/46*1998* (FORESTER).
