The safety of drivers and passengers is our highest priority and unaddressed recalls represent real risks. For the 2023 Subaru BRZ, NHTSA records list an engine-related recall (valve springs that may fracture and cause engine malfunction or a stall) and a recall to correct owner manual information about the front passenger occupant classification system that could mislead occupants about airbag behavior. An engine stall at speed increases the risk of a crash; inaccurate occupant classification information can increase the risk of injury in certain crash conditions. Mike Shaw Subaru urges owners in Thornton and nearby communities to treat these notices seriously: manufacturer recall repairs are performed free of charge and must be completed by an authorized Subaru dealer to maintain warranty and insurance protections. Ignoring recalls can affect insurance claims, safety inspections, and resale value; our factory-trained technicians use OEM parts and Subaru diagnostic tools to ensure repairs meet manufacturer specifications.
