Subaru Solterra HVAC control ECU software has programming issue

Country	United Kingdom
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-10-01
Manufacturer	SUBARU
Models affected	Solterra
Units affected	895
Defect	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.
