What NHTSA data shows for Subaru

Across the 6 Subaru models with enough data to count (model years 1995–2022), NHTSA has 29,970 owner complaints on file and 269 recall campaigns. The most-reported components across the make are visibility and wipers (4,213), electrical system (3,619), other (3,148). The Subaru Outback has the most complaints of any Subaru, with 12,007. Data as of 2026-10-12.

Complaint counts rise with how many of a model were sold and how long they've been on the road, so a big number mostly means a common car. The useful part is what fails: the model pages name the parts, and the guides explain how each one changes the price.
