Subaru recalls model year 2019 Crosstreks, Foresters and Ascents

Subaru of America is recalling 51,613 model year 2019 Crosstreks, Foresters and Ascents.

An unexpected loss of power can increase the risk of a crash.

What to do

Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the PCV valve free of charge. If the PCV valve has separated and the components cannot be found, the short block engine will be replaced, free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin January 24, 2020.
