Buying a used 2024 Subaru Solterra? Check these 2 recalls first
Only two recalls appear for this year, both mid-severity: a defroster that can stop working and a rearview camera image that may freeze. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside advisory. The critical wheel-detachment recalls listed for the 2023 Solterra are not among this year's campaigns. Owners filed 14 unverified complaints with NHTSA (2 crashes, 1 injury, no fires), concentrated in forward collision avoidance, electrical system, vehicle speed control and lane departure.
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 by VIN that the defroster and rearview camera recalls show as completed rather than open.
- Test the rearview camera repeatedly, including a cold start, since the reported fault is a frozen image.
- Ask the seller whether they have experienced forward collision, lane departure or speed control warnings firing without cause.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Subaru dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
