A model year is listed because the code is named in its own record — a bulletin filed against it, or an owner’s complaint about it — not because every one of these vehicles sets it. Counts are documents in NHTSA’s files, not failure rates.

What P0087 means
Source: SAE J2012 / OBD-IIFuel rail pressure is below what the system commanded.
A stored code names the test that failed, never the part that caused it. The record above is what Subaru and its owners have filed about it; the code’s page across every make has the whole file.
Common questions
Source: NHTSA files and the OBD-II standardIs P0087 a known problem on Subaru vehicles?
It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 185 manufacturer filings and 1 owner report naming P0087 on 34 Subaru model years (2017–2024). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.
Which Subaru models does P0087 appear on most?
2021 Crosstrek (8 documents), 2022 Crosstrek (7 documents), 2020 Crosstrek (7 documents).
Does P0087 on a Subaru mean it is recalled?
No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
