Key takeaway The NHTSA warns a wrong GAWR label “may lead to an overloaded vehicle,” which could increase the likelihood of a crash.
Why this matters in Frisco News
For Frisco residents who own one of the recalled Subaru models, this issue may hit close to home, particularly those who frequently drive on the city's busy roads and highways. The potential for an overloaded vehicle to increase the likelihood of a crash is a concern, especially given the city's rapid growth and increasing traffic volume. While Subaru has not reported any crashes or injuries related to this issue in the US, local drivers should still take notice and take advantage of the corrective certification label that will be mailed to them. Frisco's car owners can check the NHTSA's website or Subaru's recall lookup platform to see if their vehicle is affected and plan accordingly. With owner notifications set to go out in late August, local Subaru owners should be on the lookout for these notices and take the necessary steps to ensure their vehicle is properly labeled and safe to drive.
