## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2026329](/recalls/tc/2026329.md), 2026-07-07: Label. Issue: On certain vehicles, the compliance label lists an incorrect gross axle weight rating \(GAWR\). This could lead you to overload the vehicle, which could cause poor handling or a tire failure. Note: For the Forester model, this recall affects both gas and hybrid models. For the Crosstrek model, only the Crosstrek Hybrid model is affected.  Safety Risk: Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Subaru will mail a new compliance label to each owner. If you'd like help to install the label, you can contact a Subaru dealer to have it installed free of charge.
- [2026077](/recalls/tc/2026077.md), 2026-02-20: Fuel System. Issue: On certain vehicles, the fuel filler cap gasket may not seal properly to the housing. As a result, fuel could leak from the fuel filler neck. Note: This recall only affects certain hybrid model vehicles.  Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire.  Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Subaru recommends keeping the fuel tank below 50% capacity until the recall repairs have been completed. Subaru will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the fuel filler cap gasket.
