5 NHTSA recalls · 194 owner complaints on file

This year carries the same stall-focused recall set as 2018 — two separate stall defects plus two fuel pump recalls — along with the dim headlight reflector recall. NHTSA lists 194 unverified owner complaints, the highest of any year here: exterior lighting leads at 63, wiper/visibility follows closely at 55, then electrical system. Six crashes, one fire and five injuries are noted. Lighting and visibility, rather than engine failures, dominate what owners actually reported.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify both fuel pump recalls and both stall recalls by VIN
3. Ask whether the headlight reflector recall repair was completed
4. Test wipers, washers and headlight aim at night before committing
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Subaru dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
