Subaru of America, Inc. is recalling 5 of its 2023 Ascent vehicles because a critical component in the front suspension may fail. Specifically, a nut holding the ball joint to the lower control arm may not have been tightened correctly during manufacturing, which can lead to a pin failing and the parts separating. Dealers will inspect the vehicle and replace the lower control arm if necessary at no cost to the owner.
If the ball joint separates from the lower control arm while you are driving, it can cause an immediate loss of steering control. This significantly increases the risk of a crash and potential injury.
Free dealer inspection and potential replacement of the lower control arm.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
