Buying a used 2019 Subaru WRX? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 30 owner complaints on file

The same two recalls as the prior year apply: a high-severity fuel pump that can quit while driving and a mid-severity failure of the backup lights and camera. Complaint volume is lower and cleaner — 30 unverified reports to NHTSA with no crashes, fires or injuries recorded. Electrical system leads at 14, followed by engine at 11, while fuel/propulsion shows only 2 reports despite the pump campaign being the more serious recall here.

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. Confirm the fuel pump recall repair is on record for this VIN, not just listed as open.
3. Check the backup lights and reverse camera, and look for other electrical faults given that electrical leads the complaints.
4. Ask about the engine's service history and whether the car was modified or tracked.
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.
