Subaru of America, Inc.: 2019-2022 Crosstrek Hybrid Recalled for Battery Harness Corrosion

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Subaru of America, Inc. is recalling approximately 8,413 of its 2019-2022 Crosstrek Hybrid vehicles. A terminal in the low-voltage battery harness may corrode and break, which stops the 12-Volt battery from charging properly. If the battery cannot recharge, the vehicle may experience a sudden loss of drive power while in motion. To fix this, dealers will replace the converter terminal mounting bracket and, if corrosion is already present, they will also replace the output harness and terminals at no cost to the owner.

Risk

The harness terminal can corrode and snap, cutting off power to the 12-Volt battery and causing the vehicle to lose drive power unexpectedly. This sudden loss of power while driving increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check if your vehicle is a 2019-2022 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid affected by recall number WRD-23.
  2. Contact an authorized Subaru dealer to schedule a free repair appointment.
  3. At the dealership, technicians will replace the converter terminal mounting bracket and inspect for corrosion; if corrosion is found on the terminals, the 12-Volt output harness and terminals will also be replaced free of charge.
