250KMile ratingKnown issues to check on the 2020 Subaru Outback
One widely reported problem pattern applies to this model year. That does not mean this car has the fault — many were fixed under warranty or recall — but it is what to check, and what to ask the seller for, before you buy.
- Low-pressure fuel pumpWorth checking
A very large recall covers a Denso low-pressure fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine while driving.
What to check: Run the VIN through the manufacturer's recall lookup and confirm the fuel pump recall has been completed. It is a free fix, but it has to have been done.
Patterns are drawn from NHTSA recalls and complaints, manufacturer service bulletins and consistent owner reporting. Always confirm open recalls against the VIN and get an independent pre-purchase inspection.
