Subaru is recalling more than half a million SUVs due to an incorrect weight limit label that could lead drivers to unintentionally overload their vehicles and increase the risk of a crash, federal safety regulators announced.<\/p>\n
The recall impacts an estimated\u00a0541,237 vehicles that fail to meet federal motor vehicle safety standards, according to a July 13 notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).<\/p>\n
The affected vehicles include certain 2019\u20132026 Ascent models, 2025\u20132026 Foresters, 2025\u20132026 Forester Hybrids and 2026 Crosstrek Hybrids.<\/p>\n

According to regulators, the safety certification sticker displays an incorrect gross axle weight rating (GAWR) for the rear axle.<\/p>\n
“An incorrect GAWR label may lead to an overloaded vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash,” the NHTSA warning stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If drivers rely on the incorrect figures, they could unintentionally overload their vehicles with too much cargo or passengers, putting dangerous strain on the tires and suspension, officials said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The agency first alerted Subaru in May regarding the stated weight numbers on the rear axle label. After an internal review of its calculations, Subaru decided to conduct a safety recall in late June, officials said.<\/p>\n
No crashes or injuries\u00a0have been reported with respect to the labeling error.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Subaru is expected to mail notification letters to affected owners beginning\u00a0Aug. 25.<\/p>\n

Owners will receive a second letter containing a corrected weight sticker free of charge, along with instructions on how to easily paste it over the incorrect label.<\/p>\n
Owners who prefer not to apply the sticker themselves can take their vehicle to an authorized Subaru dealer, where a technician will install it free of charge.<\/p>\n
