2019 SUBARU CROSSTREK Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 Subaru Crosstrek has 10 recalls, the most serious being two issues that can cause sudden loss of drive power: a corroding terminal on Crosstrek Hybrid models that can leave the 12-volt battery unable to charge, and a PCV valve that can break apart and allow fragments into the engine. On the electrical side, the engine control module can continue supplying power to the ignition coils after the engine shuts off, causing a short circuit that stalls the engine. A connector inside the electric power steering unit can also short circuit, making the steering wheel significantly harder to turn. Turning to the rear suspension, bolts securing the rear stabilizer bracket can loosen and fall away, allowing the bracket to shift and affect handling. Two separate recalls address the rear seat belts: in one, the webbing sensor locking mechanism may not engage correctly, and in another, the belts may have been assembled incorrectly, both meaning the belts can fail to hold an occupant in a multi-impact crash. The driver's side rear door window glass may also be improperly tempered and can shatter into large pieces rather than the small fragments safety glass is designed to produce.
