Does a recall affect your Subaru Solterra?

Not every Subaru Solterra is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Launched 1 December 2025 DVSA recall R/2025/484 Manufacturer ref. SRT374

SRT372 Electric Compressor on 2023MY–2025MY Solterra

Launched 1 October 2025 DVSA recall R/2025/389 Manufacturer ref. SRT372

Defect
Due to the programming of the HVAC control ECU software under certain conditions such as a specific failure mode of the electric compressor the HVAC system will enter a failsafe mode that suspends the heater operation of the system and affects defroster function. In some cases when the vehicle is operated in certain low temperatures the defrosting performance reduces and may not remove frost ice and/or fog from the windshield glass. This can reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions
Remedy
Update the HVAC control ECU software.

  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Subaru Solterra. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
