where did you get your information that a recall is forthcoming?A recall is forthcoming. But before it's announced, there's a replacement part that has to be stocked at dealer service departments, a ECU located behind the panel on the right side, rear of the vehicle. Once they are distributed, the recall will be announced. In the meantime, Subaru will replace your battery if this condition of deep discharge harms the battery. It's recommended to just go out and buy a decent battery and replace the factory original. AGM's are well thought of for this application.
Greetings,Thanks for all of the great information, sorry if Im asking questions that have been asked 1000 times.
I’m picking up our new Ascent tomorrow.
I found it in this thread here;where did you get your information that a recall is forthcoming?
I'm going to assume that since a fix is coming, that new Ascents coming from the factory may already have the updated part and won't be needing the recall.the best news is the gate pcu's will be replaced via recall...they are waiting for the parts,but that could be another 6-12 months..
Yep, battery already drained at 1500 miles on new 2020 Ascent. I must have accidentally launched the rear tailgate. Came out in the morning and could not start car, but could jump it. Subaru definitely needs to fix this. In the meantime, I replaced the battery with an Optima Yellow Top today.A recall is forthcoming.

Yours must be a 2020. I think I read somewhere in the 2020 Manual it talks about that. Mine is the same. But if you leave the power on you will have a very low but maybe start able car.For some reason my rear lift gate was left open all night. I leave while it is still dark. No light were on and it started just fine. I thought it did turn off the lights for me and saved the battery. Not sure why mine is different.
Mine is definitely a 2019.Yours must be a 2020. I think I read somewhere in the 2020 Manual it talks about that. Mine is the same. But if you leave the power on you will have a very low but maybe start able car.
