What is a Subaru VIN recall check?

At Vehicle.report, you can search for recalls issued for any Subaru vehicle. Manufacturers like Subaru are among the top sources of information for our comprehensive database of vehicle data. Using the vehicle identification number, you can verify if Subaru issued a recall for any vehicle.

A vehicle safety recall is usually initiated by a car manufacturer for defects that pose a risk to vehicle safety. This defect may have been discovered in several vehicles of the same design or manufacture or in components of the same type and manufacture. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an agency within the US Department of Transportation, oversees the safety recalls.

A VIN or vehicle identification number is a 17-digit alphanumeric code that serves to identify your Subaru vehicle as a unique unit. No two vehicles have the same VIN. It is the key to all data about a vehicle.

How do I find previous recalls on my Subaru car?

Subaru recalled 6.6 million vehicles out of 6.7 million sold at a recall rate of 985 per 1,000 sold for the 31-year period that ended on September 2016. Also based on NHTSA data, 84.5 percent of the recalls could result in death, injury, crash, accident or fire.
