Subaru Recalls — Canada & USA

Subaru has 28 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1976 through 2026. Across those models, 448 recall campaigns are recorded, with roughly 85% falling into the Critical or High tiers under the severity rating system. Critical recalls, which account for 63% of the total, cover conditions such as loss of vehicle control, fire risk, and life-threatening injury potential, while the High tier adds another 22%. Medium recalls make up 11% of the total, with Low and Informational recalls accounting for the remaining 4% combined.

The Legacy carries the largest recall count in the lineup at 104 campaigns, followed by the Outback at 73 and the Impreza at 68. Other models in the database include the Forester, Crosstrek, and WRX, each with their own histories of Critical and High activity. A recent High recall affects 2026 Forester vehicles, where a detached glass panel may become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash. With the overwhelming concentration of recalls in the top two severity tiers spread across a relatively compact lineup of 28 models, the recall record reflects consistent exposure to conditions that regulators classified as posing meaningful risk to occupants and other road users.
