Buying a used 2025 Subaru Solterra? Check these 2 recalls first
Both recalls are medium severity and neither is flagged stop-driving or park-outside: a defroster that can stop working, shared with the Toyota bZ4X, and a rearview camera that may freeze, shared across several Toyota, Lexus and Subaru models. With only four unverified NHTSA complaints on file and no crashes, fires or injuries reported, there is very little owner-reported history to draw on — typical for a model year this recent.
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.
- Test the front and rear defrosters, including on a cold start, and ask if the defroster recall remedy was applied
- Check the rearview camera for frozen or lagging images across several reverse cycles
- Confirm both recalls by VIN, since this year's low complaint count means little independent history exists
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Subaru dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
