7 recalls across 3 model years
The Subaru Solterra has 7 recalls covering 2023 through 2025 model years, with the most serious affecting 2023 vehicles where hub bolts can loosen and allow a wheel to detach while driving, raising the risk of a crash.
The defroster and defogger system has two related recalls. On 2023 models, a software fault can push the HVAC system into a failsafe mode where the windshield defroster stops working properly, potentially leaving the driver with an obstructed view. A broader version of this issue extends to 2023-2025 models, where certain HVAC faults such as an electrical compressor failure can render the defroster and defogger completely inoperative under conditions where visibility is already reduced.
The rearview camera also has two related issues. On 2023 models equipped with the panoramic view monitor system, a software error can cause the camera image to freeze or go blank when shifting into reverse. A wider version of this same software problem covers 2023-2025 models with the panoramic view monitor, again causing the camera to freeze or show a blank screen while backing up.
The remaining 2023 recall involves a VIN labeling error that makes it impossible to identify the vehicle's make from the VIN alone, though this has no effect on how the vehicle operates.
