Frequently asked questions
Is the Subaru Solterra reliable?
"Reliability" is measured differently by different sources, and NHTSA doesn't publish a reliability score. What its public file — the basis for this page — shows for the Subaru Solterra is 5 recalls, all with a remedy available, no open investigations, and 52 owner-submitted complaints — which are unverified reports, not confirmed defects. For predicted-reliability and owner-satisfaction verdicts, Consumer Reports and J.D. Power run large owner-survey panels; check their model pages for those ratings.
Does the Subaru Solterra have any recalls?
Yes — NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for the Subaru Solterra. All of them have a remedy available. The most recent was filed Jun 18, 2026 and involved Electrical System / Propulsion System. A recall is how a known issue gets fixed — usually free of charge — so the presence of recalls isn't the same as an unresolved problem.
Does the Subaru Solterra have battery problems?
NHTSA's file lists 0 recalls classified to the battery / high-voltage group and 6 owner complaints (unverified consumer reports) that touch the battery. Owner complaints are unverified and one complaint can span more than one category, so treat the count as a signal of what owners raise, not a defect rate.
