Subaru 45137AE012 Genuine Radiator Cap Assembly — for Ascent, Legacy, and Outback

Coolant leaks from the radiator neck, engine overheating at idle or under load, a low coolant level warning, or steam coming from under the hood — these are common signs that your radiator cap is failing. A worn or stuck cap can cause coolant loss, pressure loss, and overheating, which can lead to severe engine damage. Replacing it with this genuine Subaru radiator cap restores proper cooling system pressure and protects your engine.

This is a factory-original Subaru radiator cap assembly (OE part number 45137AE012), specifically designed for the 2015–2025 Ascent, Legacy, and Outback models. It is engineered with a calibrated pressure relief valve and a vacuum valve to maintain the correct operating pressure in the cooling system. This is the same part sold at Subaru dealerships.

 

When to Replace

• Coolant leaks from the radiator neck or cap area
• Engine overheating at idle or under load
• Low coolant level warning or coolant loss
• Steam or coolant spray from under the hood
• The cap does not hold pressure (can be tested with a pressure tester)
• Damaged or cracked rubber gasket on the cap
