2022 Subaru WRX Owner's Manual Contains Incorrect High Beam Assist Instructions
Subaru is recalling 2022 WRX vehicles with Eyesight because the owner's manual contains incorrect instructions for adjusting the High Beam Assist function. Owners will receive a corrected manual insert by mail.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is a documentation error in an owner's manual with no reported injuries or crashes. While incorrect manual instructions could theoretically affect light adjustment, the fix is a simple mail-out of corrected information, classifying this as a moderate-severity precautionary recall.
