More than 69,000 Subaru SUVs Recalled because Moonroofs May Detach While Driving
Subaru says 2.9% of the recalled vehicles may have defective moonroof assemblies, and dealers will inspect or replace the glass at no cost.
- Subaru is recalling 69,663 vehicles, including the 2026 Subaru Forester and 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid, because the power moonroof glass may detach while the vehicle is in motion, posing a safety hazard.
- The defect stems from improper primer application during manufacturing, which prevents proper bonding between the glass panel and sliding frame; over time, the adhesive bond weakens, allowing detachment.
- Impacted models include 65,656 standard Foresters and 4,007 Forester Hybrid vehicles; Subaru estimates 2.9% of recalled vehicles possess the defect following three technical reports between February and March.
- Dealers will inspect the moonroof glass for proper adhesion and replace the assembly at no cost if necessary, with the repair process identified under recall number WRF-26.
- Owners can verify eligibility by searching Vehicle Identification Numbers on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website now, with official notification letters scheduled to be mailed on July 24.
