Buying a used 2019 Subaru Legacy? Check these 3 recalls first
Two fuel pump recalls address the same failure — the pump quitting while driving — and a third, medium-severity recall covers potentially weak body welds. Owner complaints total 123 unverified reports filed with NHTSA, and they cluster in wiper/visibility (49) and electrical system (35) rather than fuel delivery. Two crashes and one fire are noted, with no injuries. The weld recall is worth confirming on any car that shows signs of body repair.
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.
- Verify both fuel pump recalls were performed by VIN
- Ask whether the body weld inspection recall was completed
- Run wipers, washers and defrost, the top owner-complaint area
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Subaru dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
