Buying a used 2022 Subaru Ascent? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2022 Subaru Ascent has 2 recalls in this group. The cabin heater fire risk carries a park-outside instruction, while the other recall concerns an incorrect weight rating label. The complaint record identifies additional areas to discuss with the seller: 14 power train, 11 service brake, 9 engine and 7 visibility/wiper reports. These are among 55 unverified owner complaints. The supplied totals include 6 crashes, 2 fires and 6 injuries, without establishing their causes.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify heater recall completion and any outstanding park-outside instruction.
- Confirm the weight rating label correction.
- Request repair history for transmission, brakes, engine and visibility/wiper concerns.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Subaru dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
