According to the companySubaru is recalling 541,237 vehicles in the US after an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) was listed on the certification label during manufacturing.The wrong GAWR means the vehicles affected do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) requirements, which relate to tyre and rim selection.According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a GAWR that is stated incorrectly could result in a vehicle being overloaded, raising the likelihood of a crash.AdvertisementAdvertisementFour vehicle lines fall under the recall.The Ascent range accounts for the largest share, with 384,407 vehicles from the 2019 to 2026 model years potentially affected, of which 383,800 have been confirmed, built between 19 March 2018 and 11 June 2026.The Forester line covers 49,946 potentially affected vehicles from the 2025 and 2026 model years, with 49,849 confirmed, manufactured between 26 January 2024 and 11 June 2026.A separate count applies to the Forester Hybrid, where all 77,504 vehicles from the 2025 and 2026 model years, built between 28 November 2024 and 15 June 2026, have been confirmed as affected.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe 2026 model year Crosstrek Hybrid makes up the fourth line, with 29,380 vehicles potentially affected and 29,297 confirmed, produced between 26 June 2025 and 12 June 2026.Per the filing's timeline, NHTSA informed Subaru of a possible problem with the stated rear axle GAWR on 12 May 2026.NHTSA further noted that Subaru has not received any technical reports from the US market and has no knowledge of any crashes or injuries linked to the fault.As a remedy, Subaru will provide a corrective certification overlay label to be fitted over the existing one.The company will send the overlay label by post to owners of all potentially affected vehicles, along with guidance on how to fit it.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe recall comes amid a wider run of vehicle recalls by other automakers in recent weeks.Earlier this month, Honda recalled 325,588 Odyssey vehicles in the US due to a rearview camera fault that can prevent the image from displaying when the vehicle is put into reverse.In the preceding month, Ford recalled more than 741,000 vehicles in the US after a transmission defect was found that could affect the park system and raise the risk of the vehicle moving unintentionally."Subaru recalls over 541,000 vehicles in US over label fault" was originally created and published by Just Auto, a GlobalData owned brand.
