Description of the problem	The electronic screen on the 2015 subaru forester that includes the back-up display reflects a solid black bar down the middle if you are wearing polarized sunglasses. I've almost backed over walkers in parking lots who were in the obscured area of the screen because of this. I checked at the dealer, and other 2015 foresters have the same problem, but the outback does not. Since i first noticed the problem i have driven a number of cars, including toyotas and bmws that do not have the problem. Subaru's suggested solution is that i don't wear polarized sunglasses. I wear corrective lenses, and it is virtually impossible to buy corrective sunglasses that aren't polarized. The alternative is to wear non-corrective lenses that are not particularly good for my eyes, and through which the world is blurred. I don't think i should have to go spend $300+ to buy sunglasses to correct a problem that subaru could have corrected by putting a different display screen in the car, since based on other subarus i've been in and cars from other manufacturers, they had the option to do so. Thank you.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
