Buying a used 2024 Subaru Crosstrek? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls so far on the 2024 Crosstrek, and both affect whether the car keeps moving: wiring that can cut engine power, and a front driveshaft that can break, shared with Forester, Impreza and WRX. Its 115 unverified NHTSA complaints skew toward unspecified problems (31), followed by exterior lighting (13), visibility/wiper (12) and forward collision avoidance (11). Eight crashes, three injuries and two fires appear in those reports, a notable count for a model year this recent.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm both the wiring and front driveshaft recall repairs are complete on this VIN
- Check all exterior lights and ask about any headlight or taillight failures or replacements
- Test the forward collision avoidance system for false alerts or dashboard warnings during the drive
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Subaru dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
