Subaru will be notifying owners of certain 2015 vehicles about a problem affecting the Eyesight Driver Assist System (EDAS). According to the defect report, the program controlling the system may not detect a fault in one of its associated components. During a brake lamp switch (BLS) failure, the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) correctly detects the failure, but detection by the EDAS will be delayed. If the automatic pre-collision braking system does not function as intended, the vehicle will not react to obstacles, increasing the risk of a crash.
The vehicles affected by this recall include:
Owners receiving notices will be asked to return to their dealership to have the driver assist system reprogrammed. For more information about the problem, owners are asked to contact Subaru customer service at 1-800-782-2783. Subaru’s number for this recall is WQS-54 and the NHTSA campaign number is 15V-366.
