A wrong number on a sticker is now a federal safety matter for more than half a million Subaru owners. Subaru of America has recalled 541,237 vehicles in the United States because their compliance labels list an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirmed on 14 July 2026.

The affected models span the Ascent, Forester and Crosstrek Hybrid ranges across several model years. No mechanical part is faulty, but regulators warn the error could still put drivers at risk.
