Known issues

High
Battery ECU software defect (NHTSA 26V393000, filed June 2026). Two integrated circuits in the Denso-supplied battery ECU can overwrite the same memory address, failing an operational check. Repeated failures post an “EV System Malfunction” warning, illuminate multiple malfunction indicator lamps and shut down the electric drive system, with power steering and power-assisted braking still operating. 20,991 vehicles: 11,495 Toyota bZ, 4,757 Subaru Solterra, 4,739 Lexus RZ. Remedy is a free dealer software update; owner letters mailed 2026-08-17.
Medium
NHTSA 26V-570 (September 2026) covers 8,521 2026 Toyota C-HR electric vehicles. A software error may let the drive battery overcharge under certain driving conditions, which can shut down the electric drive system and cause a loss of drive power. Dealers update the BEV ECU software free of charge. The Solterra is not named.
Low
Six vehicles share this pack across two brands: Subaru Solterra, Trailseeker and Uncharted, and Toyota bZ, bZ Woodland and C-HR. The base Toyota bZ XLE with front-wheel drive is the exception, with a separate 57.7 kWh pack. Only the Solterra has a reliability page here so far.
Low
Charging tops out at 150 kW. Subaru quotes 10 to 80 percent in 28 minutes and Toyota about 30 minutes under ideal conditions, through a NACS port with an 11 kW on-board charger and battery preconditioning on every model.
Low
All-wheel drive costs range on the same pack. EPA rates the Subaru Uncharted at 308 miles with front-wheel drive and 287 with all-wheel drive, or 273 on 20-inch wheels. The Solterra is rated at 288 miles and the Trailseeker at 281, both all-wheel drive only.
Low
This pack replaces the 71.4 and 72.8 kWh packs in the 2023-2025 bZ4X and Solterra. Recalls filed against the earlier packs do not carry over.
