Subaru has recalled about 4,400 Ascent SUVs from model year 2023 because their tires may have been damaged when mounted to the wheels. A misaligned assembly machine may have damaged the internal structure of the tire.
That could cause the tires to blow out during use, possibly leading to an accident. Subaru says it is aware of 10 owner complaints but no accidents or injuries related to the problem.
Dealers will replace all four tires with new ones to eliminate the risk. Recall repairs are always free.
Many cars face recalls at some point in their lives. Automakers try to contact every owner to let them know they need to bring their vehicle in for repairs, but they aren’t always successful in finding everyone.
