Subaru Issues Recall for Detaching Moonroofs

Subaru is recalling almost 70,000 versions of the 2026 Forester and Forester Hybrid SUVs. The problem centers around the sliding glass panel of the power moonroof. It may have been improperly bonded to the sliding frame, allowing the glass panel to detach from the vehicle, which of course is not optimal in anyway.


Remedy

Subaru dealers will fix the problem by inspect the power moonroof glass panel for proper adhesion and, if necessary, replace the glass panel assembly, free of charge. Owners of the affected Forester will have letters mailed to them by July 24, 2026. For the time being, customers can contact Subaru customer service at 1-844-373-6614.
