Most recent campaign reported 2026-07-07.
Most of these are filed by Subaru of America, Inc. That is the legal entity NHTSA holds responsible. It is not always the name on the badge.
A big number here is not a verdict on the brand. Recalls track how many cars a maker sells and how many different models it builds. A maker with twenty models will out-recall one with four.
What matters is your car. Check the campaigns for your model and year, then run your VIN. The repair is free either way.
