Subaru Solterra: Srt372 Electric Compressor On 2023my–2025my Solterra
Subaru is recalling approximately 895 Solterra electric vehicles from model years 2023-2025 in the United Kingdom because a software issue can cause the heater and defroster to stop working in certain conditions, potentially reducing visibility through the windshield in cold temperatures. The company will update the HVAC control software to fix the problem.
- Recalling firm
- SUBARU
- Product
- Vehicles: SUBARU Solterra. Units affected: 895
- Reason
- 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.
