NHTSA recall 19V856000
Engine And Engine Cooling · Subaru of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Subaru of america, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2019 Crosstrek, Forester, and Ascent vehicles. The aluminum positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) valve can separate, allowing the separated components to enter the engine, resulting in a loss of power while driving.
Why it matters: An unexpected loss of power while driving can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: 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 began January 31, 2020.
