Currently, many car manufacturing companies like Toyota, general motors and Honda among others recall their different car models sold all over the world for making some mechanical changes that may affect the vehicles’ optimum performance. Recently, Subaru’s camera-based Eyesight bundle of active safety features has a fault, at least in 72,000 of the 2015 Impreza, XV Crosstrek, Legacy, and Outback, models as well as certain 2016 WRXs. Therefore, Subaru is recalling those vehicles from the car market and individual owners, as a faulty brake-light switch which can trigger the automatic braking portion of Eyesight’s capabilities inoperative, potentially leading to a crash. These crashes can claim passengers on boards’ lives.
Luckily, it doesn’t appear as though any crashes have resulted from the brake-light switch fault, and really, if the automatic-braking function were to fail, there’s still, you know, the driver. Braking function isn’t effected by the issue, meaning that even with the auto-braking feature out of commission, every affected Subaru can still be safely brought to a stop, provided the driver is paying attention. The danger here is that the auto-braking system is a fail-safe that works to avoid or mitigate crashes by stopping the car if the driver fails to react to an impending collision. So far, there’s no timeline on when customers can expect a fix, but Subaru will perform all necessary repairs free of charge.
This act of recalling back already manufactured cars helps in addressing failures in the cars that may cause the vehicle not to perform to the best of its ability. These new changes made on the car don’t affect the original car price of the vehicle at which it was originally purchase and usually they are free offered services.
