Each tile shows the median mileage at which that model year’s failures were reported. The 2022 reports latest and the 2021 earliest, but part of that gap is age: the 2021 has had 1 more year on the road to accumulate mileage. 3 of these years carry fewer than 30 reports with an odometer reading and show no median at all, rather than one computed from a handful.
The short answer
“Is the 2020–2025 Subaru Outback reliable?”
- Median of reported failures
- 6,000 mi
- 90% of reports came by
- 29,000 mi
- Reports with mileage
- 572
- Recalls
- 11
At least 40% of this generation’s complaints were filed after 2020, and most complaints filed since then carry no odometer reading, so the median likely understates the mileage these failures happen at.
Most reported
- Visibility/wiper36.7% of complaints · median 5,000 mi
- Electrical system22.4% of complaints · median 5,000 mi
- Problems owners could not categorise18.9% of complaints · median 3,500 mi
Owners filed 1,928 complaints with NHTSA about the 2020–2025 Subaru Outback; visibility/wiper leads with 36.7% of them, and half of the 572 that record an odometer reading came by 6,000 miles. A count like this can’t rate reliability on its own: NHTSA records what owners chose to report, not how many of each car were sold.
75% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 1.4 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. On a generation this new that is expected: few examples have been driven further yet, so the timing says little about design or wear so far.

How many miles does a 2020–2025 Subaru Outback last?
The newest model years (2024–2025) are too young to have reached high mileage; most reports with an odometer reading come from the earlier years of the generation.
Complaint records can’t measure how long a car lasts; they show when reported failures happened. On the 2020–2025 Subaru Outback, half of the 572 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 6,000 miles and 90% by 29,000 miles.
4 reports came in past 150,000 miles and 3 past 200,000 — each one proof that an Outback reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

System by system, in words
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 6,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
Visibility/wiper accounts for 36.7% of complaints (707 reports, 194 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 5,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,000 and 8,000 miles.
A single system taking 36.7% of all complaints is a concentration worth noting. It means that for this generation, most of what owners reported came back to one area of the car rather than being distributed across many small faults.
The electrical system accounts for 22.4% of complaints (431 reports, 150 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 5,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,000 and 9,500 miles.
Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 18.9% of complaints (364 reports, 59 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 3,500 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,000 and 8,000 miles.
Forward collision avoidance accounts for 8.4% of complaints (161 reports, 19 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 6,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 900 and 12,000 miles.
Visibility equipment accounts for 5.8% of complaints (111 reports, 97 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 12,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 4,000 and 30,000 miles.
The engine accounts for 5.3% of complaints (103 reports, 26 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 10,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 6,500 and 17,000 miles.
Known problems with the 2020–2025 Outback
Infotainment 2020–2022
Starlink 11.6-inch multimedia unit freezing, rebooting and losing the backup camera display; addressed through repeated software updates.

Windshield cracking complaints persist from the previous generation.
Before you buy a 2020–2025 Outback: the 3-minute check
Generated from 572 mileage-tagged complaints, 11 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 11 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Ask for visibility/wiper repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 5,000 miles — a newer example may not have reached that mileage yet, so ask what was repaired under warranty and what the warranty still covers.
- Ask for electrical system repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 5,000 miles — a newer example may not have reached that mileage yet, so ask what was repaired under warranty and what the warranty still covers.
- Check infotainment on 2020–2022 cars. Starlink 11.6-inch multimedia unit freezing, rebooting and losing the backup camera display; addressed through repeated software updates.
- Check fuel system on 2019–2020 cars. Denso low-pressure in-tank fuel pump impeller deformation causing rough running and stalling; large cross-manufacturer recall.
- Check body on 2020–2025 cars. Windshield cracking complaints persist from the previous generation.
- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer of a newer example: 75% of the reported failures occur in the first 12,000 miles, and many of these cars have not covered that yet. The early window may still be ahead, so check what the factory warranty still covers and whether any recall on the VIN is open.
On inspection, visibility/wiper and the electrical system are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. Visibility/wiper in particular shows a median failure mileage of 5,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

2020–2025 Subaru Outback recalls (11)
NHTSA records 11 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
The campaigns cluster around the transmission and driveline (5), the airbag system (1), visibility equipment (1). Several campaigns against one area can mean a remedy that did not hold, or separate defects in parts filed under the same heading; the summaries below name each defect.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

Crashes, fires and injuries owners reported
What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 1,928 complaints against this generation:
- Crashes
- 56 (2.9%)
- Fires
- 17
- Injury reports
- 18
- Fatality reports
- 0
These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
Outback problems by model year
The 2020 drew the most complaints of this generation, 897, most of them about visibility/wiper, and the 2025 the fewest, 81. A typical year drew about 199.
That makes the 2020 stand out at roughly 4.5 times a typical year. A count like this follows how many cars of each year were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as how often they failed, so it is not by itself evidence of a worse year; what each year's reports name, in its card and row, is the useful part.
| Year | Complaints | With mileage | Median miles | Most reported | Recalls |
