Terms

Last updated November 15, 2026

These terms apply to the Flat Four Files website. By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

What this site is

Flat Four Files is an independent information site about Subaru vehicles. It collects public records, such as safety recalls and owner complaints filed with NHTSA, and presents them by model and year.

Flat Four Files is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Subaru Corporation or Subaru of America, Inc. Subaru and the names of its models are trademarks of their owners. We use them only to identify the vehicles discussed.

Information only, not advice

Nothing here is legal, safety, mechanical or financial advice. Complaints are owner reports and are not confirmed defects. Data can be incomplete, can change, and may be out of date: each page shows the date we read it. Before you decide anything about your car, check your VIN with NHTSA and talk to a Subaru dealer or a qualified mechanic.

Accuracy

We work from the sources listed on the Sources page and we try to keep the site accurate. We cannot promise that it is complete or free of errors. If you find one, tell us and we will check it.

Our content

The text, layout and graphics of the site belong to the operator, except where a source is named. Public government records remain public. You may quote short parts with a link back to this site. Please do not copy whole pages or present our work as yours.

Photographs on the site are AI-generated illustrations. They do not show real owners or real vehicles.

Links to other sites

We link to sources such as NHTSA. Those sites have their own terms and privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them.

Limit of liability

The site is provided as it is, free of charge. To the extent the law allows, the operator is not liable for losses that come from relying on the information here. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country that cannot be limited by contract.

Changes and law

We may change these terms and the site at any time. The date at the top shows the latest version. These terms are governed by Spanish law. Mandatory consumer protections in the country where you live still apply to you.
