Key concerns in these recalls include brake lights that may not illuminate (which can increase crash risk), air bag inflators that require replacement, engine control module software updates to avoid short circuits and stalls, and a fuel pump replacement for inoperative low pressure pumps. All corrective actions listed by the NHTSA are performed free of charge by Subaru dealers; call Subaru customer service or bring your vehicle to Mike Shaw Subaru for a dealer VIN check.

Recall repairs must be completed under the manufacturer program and are best handled at a certified Subaru dealer like Mike Shaw Subaru.

How long does a 2019 Subaru Impreza 2.0i recall repair take?

At Mike Shaw Subaru, our service team provides an estimated turnaround time when you schedule service and will inform you if a loaner or alternate transportation is needed. We also post current offers and time-saving options in our service specials so you can plan accordingly.
Does an open recall affect my 2019 Subaru Impreza 2.0i's trade-in or resale value?
Unresolved recalls can reduce buyer confidence and may lower trade-in or resale value because many buyers and dealers check NHTSA records before purchase. Having recalls completed at Mike Shaw Subaru protects resale value and shows the vehicle has been maintained with OEM recall remedies; check our trade-in options at sell-your-car-online.htm. Clearing recalls also avoids potential insurance or inspection complications and demonstrates responsible ownership to prospective buyers.
Can I fail a state inspection because of an unresolved 2019 Subaru Impreza 2.0i recall?
State inspection rules vary, but safety-related recall issues (brake lights, stalling) could lead to a failed inspection or repair order depending on local regulations. Because many recalls address critical safety systems (brake lamps, engine stalls, air bag inflators), we advise resolving open recalls promptly at Mike Shaw Subaru to avoid inspection or registration issues. If you need assistance, schedule service and ask about our service financing options to handle any required work right away.
