How to Check for Subaru Recalls
The most reliable way to check open safety recalls is by using your Subaru's 17-character vehicle identification number (VIN). You can usually find it on the driver's side dashboard near the windshield, on the driver's door-jamb label, or on your registration.
- Locate your 17-character VIN
- Check Subaru's official recall lookup
- Review any recall notices and safety instructions
- Contact our service department to discuss parts and scheduling
- Bring your recall notice, if available, to your appointment

Understand the difference
Safety Recall vs. Warranty Repair
A safety recall and a warranty claim are not the same thing. Knowing the difference helps you understand what may be covered and what information is needed before service.
- Safety recall: Addresses a specific safety-related defect or regulatory noncompliance for affected vehicles
- Factory warranty: Covers eligible repairs under the vehicle's applicable warranty terms, time, mileage, and exclusions
- Service contract: May offer additional protection but follows its own contract terms and claims process
- Diagnosis: May be required to determine the cause of a concern and whether coverage applies

Common questions
Subaru Warranty & Recall FAQs
How can I check whether my Subaru has an open recall?
Use your 17-character VIN with Subaru’s official recall lookup or the NHTSA recall lookup. You can also contact our service department for assistance.
Are safety recall repairs free?
Repairs covered by an applicable manufacturer safety recall are generally performed at no charge. Eligibility depends on the recall and your vehicle’s VIN.
Does every Subaru of the same model have the same recall?
No. Recall applicability can depend on model year, production range, equipment, and VIN. Check your individual vehicle.
Can I schedule recall service online?
You can request an appointment online. Please provide your VIN and mention the recall so the service team can verify eligibility and parts availability.
Is a recall the same as a warranty repair?
No. A safety recall addresses a specified safety-related defect or noncompliance, while a warranty covers eligible repairs under particular terms and conditions.
Is my Subaru still under warranty?
Coverage depends on your vehicle’s in-service date, mileage, applicable warranty, and the concern being evaluated. Ask our service team to review the details.
Does an extended service contract cover the same repairs as the factory warranty?
Not necessarily. Vehicle service contracts have their own terms, administrators, deductibles, and exclusions. Review your contract for details.
What if a recall part is not available?
The service team can discuss current parts status and available next steps. Follow any interim safety guidance provided in the official recall notice.
Should I keep driving if my vehicle has an open recall?
Follow the instructions in your official recall notice. Some recalls may include a do-not-drive or park-outside warning; if you are unsure, contact the manufacturer or our service team before driving.
