Summary

Subaru of America is recalling approximately 4,409 of its 2023 Ascent vehicles equipped with 20-inch wheels because the internal tire bead may have been damaged during the factory mounting process. This damage can cause the tire to fail and lose air pressure suddenly, which significantly increases the risk of a crash. To address this safety issue, Subaru dealers will replace all four tires on affected vehicles at no cost to owners.

Risk

A damaged tire bead can lead to an unexpected and sudden loss of air pressure while the vehicle is in motion. This can result in a loss of vehicle control, potentially leading to an accident.
