Subaru has a smaller market share in OK than coastal states. Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA) Lafayette produces Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Legacy, Ascent, and Solterra EV. See Indiana Subaru coverage for IN home-state perspective.

Common Subaru defect categories

FB25 2.5L boxer engine — oil consumption

• Excessive oil consumption between changes.
• Affected: Outback, Forester, Legacy, Ascent.

Lineartronic CVT — class-action history

• CVT shudder, slipping, complete failure.
• Class action settlement with warranty extension to 10 years / 100K mi.

Subaru EyeSight (driver-assist)

• Lane-keep assist false interventions.
• Pre-collision braking false alarms.

Starlink infotainment

Solterra (EV — SIA Lafayette)

• See Indiana Subaru coverage.

A/C in OK heat

• AC compressor failures.

Recall and TSB history

• FB25 oil consumption TSBs and class-action settlements.
• CVT-related warranty extensions.

Procedural considerations

• BBB Auto Line is Subaru’s certified IDS.
• Federal venue options: N.D./E.D./W.D. Okla. or S.D./N.D. Ind. for SIA-built vehicles.

OCPA exposure

Subaru cases have OCPA exposure for:

• FB25 oil consumption “normal” representations — class-action history supports OCPA deceptive-conduct pattern evidence.
• CVT “fixed” representations — when warranty extensions don’t cure.
• EyeSight feature representations.

Bottom line

Subaru cases in OK are less common than Honda / Toyota / Hyundai but follow well-documented patterns. FB25 oil consumption and Lineartronic CVT failures are the flagship defect categories. Class-action history supports OCPA deceptive-conduct pleading (actual damages + mandatory fees).
