2024 Subaru Solterra

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Solterra.

The 2024 Subaru Solterra enters the reference landscape with 13 total owner complaints and 2 recalls, with forward collision avoidance standing out as the top complaint area. Situated within the model's short complaint history spanning 2023 to 2025, this model year reflects a notable drop from the 25 complaints of the 2023 launch, yet it remains above the 4 complaints recorded for 2025. Consequently, the 2024 Solterra serves as a transitional point in the vehicle's reliability trajectory, indicating that while initial issues are subsiding, the platform's overall stability is still being refined.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the coolant at 120,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 120,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Solterra shows a clear downward trend in owner complaints from the 2023 launch year—25 complaints dropped to 13 in 2024, and early 2025 data (4 complaints) continues that arc, though that year is incomplete. Recall activity, however, remains flat at two per model year across the generation, indicating that Subaru has not fully resolved the underlying issues prompting those campaigns. The 2024’s top complaint area—Forward Collision Avoidance with only two reports—suggests no single widespread problem dominates, and the lone crash complaint and zero fire reports point to a low safety-incident rate. The high number of Technical Service Bulletins (113 in 2024) implies that dealers have guidance for common fixes, but the persistent recalls mean you should verify all open campaigns are completed before purchase. Overall, the 2024 is a better buy than the 2023 given the halved complaint count, but it still carries the same recall burden; if you can confirm recall repairs are done, it’s a reasonable choice in this early-generation EV.
