Subaru Issues Massive Recall Affecting Over Half a Million Vehicles

, citing a potential safety issue that could cause engine stalling. The recall affects multiple popular models, including the 2019-2022 Ascent, 2020-2022 Legacy and Outback, and 2020-2022 Impreza and Crosstrek. Owners are urged to check if their car is on the list.

The problem stems from a faulty control module that may incorrectly detect a battery voltage drop, leading to sudden engine shutdown while driving. That increases the risk of a crash. Subaru says it will replace the module at no cost to owners, with notification letters expected to go out in late January.

To see if your Subaru is affected, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website and enter your vehicle identification number. You can also check directly with a local Subaru dealer. Boca Auto Care recommends staying proactive, if your car is included, schedule the repair as soon as parts are available to avoid being stranded on the road.
