Buying a used 2023 Subaru Solterra? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 25 owner complaints on file · 2 do-not-drive

The 2023 Solterra has 4 recalls, with wheel-bolt loosening and wheels coming loose standing out because both carry stop-driving instructions. The other listed recalls concern defroster failure and a freezing rearview camera. NHTSA records 25 unverified owner complaints, including 9 in forward collision avoidance, 8 in electrical systems, and 6 in vehicle speed control. Documentation resolving both wheel-related recalls is especially important, while assistance-system behavior and visibility equipment warrant separate review.

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 stop-driving wheel recalls are resolved before any test drive.
3. Obtain defroster and rearview-camera recall completion records.
4. Ask about unexpected braking, speed-control issues, or electrical faults.
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.
