Question 2

Is the Subaru B9 Tribeca a reliable vehicle?

Accepted Answer

A recall is not the same as a reliability problem — many popular vehicles on the road have multiple recalls because they sell in large volumes and defects eventually surface at scale. NHTSA recall counts should be read alongside owner complaints, crash-test ratings, and defect investigations, all of which are linked from each model year page.

Usually. Federal law requires Subaru to remedy recalls on the B9 Tribeca free of charge at an authorized Subaru dealer, whoever owns it now. The exceptions are vehicles first sold more than 15 years before the recall was issued and tires bought more than 5 years before it.
