Subaru initiated the recall after the company discovered the vehicles’ Positive Temperature Coefficient ground terminals may have been improperly fastened during the vehicles’ production, according to the Subaru recall.
Subaru is encouraging owners of the recalled Subaru Ascent vehicles to contact an authorized Subaru retailer once they receive notice of the recall in order to receive a free inspection and repair.
Before a repair and inspection, Subaru advises vehicle owners to avoid parking the recalled vehicles away from garages, carports and other structures and to avoid leaving them unattended while running.
