Can I get my 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX recall fixed at an independent shop or do I need a dealer?
Recall repairs must be performed under the manufacturer program; while independent shops may perform some repairs, recall remedies that require dealer access to Subaru parts, technical bulletins, and dealer-only replacement parts should be completed at a certified Subaru dealer.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The safety picture for the 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX is clear: several NHTSA-recognized recalls affect critical systems and should be addressed without delay. Air bag inflator recalls—13 separate notices across model years and regions—show that certain passenger frontal air bag inflators can rupture, sending sharp metal fragments into the cabin and risking serious injury or death; this is the most urgent safety concern documented for this vehicle. Ignition-related recalls (2 notices) identify a replacement mechanical-key ignition switch with a broken ball spring that can allow the engine to shut off unexpectedly, which increases crash risk and may prevent air bag deployment. Brake-line and brake-light recalls (4 and 2 notices respectively) can lead to brake fluid leaks or non-illuminating brake lights, both of which increase stopping distance or reduce visibility to other drivers. Ignoring an open recall can jeopardize safety, complicate insurance claims, and reduce resale value—so immediate inspection and repair at a certified franchise dealer is essential. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley’s factory-trained technicians prioritize safety: we use OEM parts, Subaru-approved procedures, and NHTSA campaign codes to ensure recall remedies are completed correctly and recorded with the manufacturer. If you’re in Greeley, CO or nearby communities, schedule service today so we can inspect your VIN, apply any free recall repairs, and keep your vehicle safe for you and your passengers.
