Known issues on the 2014 WRX. Ten recalls name the 2014 WRX. On certain 2014 WRX sedans, contamination can cause the brake light switch to fail, so the brake lights stay off, keyless-ignition cars may not start and automatic transmissions may not leave park; a new switch is the fix. Certain 2014 WRX vehicles sold or registered in specified states were recalled because the passenger frontal air bag inflator can explode once its propellant has deteriorated with humidity and heat cycles. Another covers certain cars with a replacement mechanical-key ignition switch whose spring can break and let the engine cut out. Of 6 owner complaints, 3 involve service brakes and 2 the engine. Brake, electrical and air bag procedures, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are included.
