Subaru has agreed to a class action settlement addressing allegations that certain 2019–2022 Subaru vehicles are equipped with defective front windshields that crack more easily than they should. Plaintiffs claim that Subaru failed to warn consumers and allege the defect leads to premature and frequent windshield cracks.

Subaru denies these allegations but has agreed to resolve the claims through this settlement, which provides extended warranty coverage and reimbursement options.
