Buying a used 2024 Subaru Impreza? Check these 2 recalls first
Both recalls involve the drivetrain: wiring that can cut engine power, and a front driveshaft that can break. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. NHTSA shows 31 unverified owner complaints, including two crashes, two fires and one injury; service brakes and forward collision avoidance tie as the most-cited areas, followed by suspension and visibility. For a current model year, owner reports point more at braking and driver-assist behavior than at the recalled parts.
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 engine wiring and driveshaft recalls are closed by VIN
- Note any brake pulsation, noise or long pedal travel on the test drive
- Ask whether the forward collision system has thrown false alerts or faults
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Subaru dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
