What This Recall Means

Component

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

What Happened
The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) label on your vehicle shows how much weight your axles can handle. Unfortunately, some Subaru models, including your Crosstrek Hybrid, Forester, or Ascent, have a label with incorrect information.
Risk if Unfixed
If the weight capacity is wrong, you might overload your vehicle, which could cause a stability issue and increase the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Subaru will send you a corrected label for free, and you can choose to have it installed by a dealer at no cost. Just wait for the letter they'll mail to you on August 25, 2026, and then follow their instructions.
