Air Bags › Frontal › Passenger Side › Inflator Module20V001000
Filed Jan 2, 2020258,813 vehiclesSubaru Of America, Inc.
Defect. Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2009-2013 Forester, 2003-2006 Baja, 2004-2011 Impreza, 2004-2014 WRX (STI included), 2003-2014 Legacy and Outback, and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in the states of Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands or "Zone A." These vehicles had their passenger frontal air bag inflators previously replaced under a prior recall using inflators of the same design. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.
Risk. An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Remedy. Subaru will notify their owners. General Motors will notify Saab owners. Dealers will replace the passenger air bag inflators with alternate inflators, free of charge. The recall began January 7, 2020. Subaru Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Saab owners may contact the Saab Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-955-9007. Subaru's number for this recall is TKA-20.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD(LUCKILY AT 35 MPH) THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I DOWN SHIFTED AND USED THE EBRAKE AND STOPPED SAFELY AND NOTICED A PUDDLE UNDER THE CAR IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE HOME SAFELY, AND CHECKING THINGS OUT, I NOTICED THE 4 WAY CONNECTOR (RECALLED UNDER CAMPAIGN# WQK-47) WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND LOOKS AS THOUGH IT HAD NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED. THEN, WHILE LOOKING UP THE PART, I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT NOT ON MY SPECIFIC YEAR AND MODEL, EVEN THOUGH THE SURROUNDING MODELS AND YEARS WERE RECALLED. PERHAPS THIS WAS OVERLOOKED? OR THE AMOUNT OF UNMODIFIED SURVIVING WRX'S DIDN'T PETICULARLY JUSTIFY A RECALL ON THAT MODEL? EITHER WAY, IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS ALSO AN INCREDIBLY INVOLVED FIX. THE PART ON THE 06-07 IMPREZA WRX IS THE EXACT SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE 05-08 OUTBACKS AND LEGACYS. I WILL BE CALLING SUBARU OF AMERICA TODAY AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT. BUT YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE THEM NOTIFY ANY 06-07 WRX OWNERS IN THE RUST BELT THAT THIS MIGHT BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD! FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT [XXX]FOR ANY FURTHER EXPLANATION! THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BUT IF THE DEALERSHIP EVER REPAIRED THE PROBLEM (I SUSPECT THEY DID NOT REPAIR IT) THE LIGHT STILL CONTINUES TO COME ON AND GO OFF RANDOMLY.

BRANDON, THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT SUBARU OF SANTA CRUZ, ATTENDED TO MY SERVICE AND REPAIR NEEDS I HAD IN JULY OF 2017, HOWEVER NOT THE AIRBAG RECALL. WHEN I ENTERED THE SERVICE AREA I WENT OVER MY CONCERNS WITH THE VEHICLE AND WHAT SERVICES I NEEDED. I ALSO ASKED BRANDON TO LOOK UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE AIRBAG RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE. HE SAID THAT HE WOULD CHECK THAT OUT FOR ME. I LEFT THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW DAYS AND CAME BACK TO PICK IT UP. I FIGURED AIRBAG RECALLS ARE TOP PRIORITIES AT SUBARU AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS REMEDIED. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER I TOOK A CLOSER LOOK AT THE 5 PAGES OF CRYPTIC PAPERWORK THAT BRANDON HAD HANDED ME AND FOUND NO MENTION OF THE RECALL REPAIR. 16 PEOPLE HAVE DIED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT AS OF 3/17. I AM COMPLAING THAT THIS OVERSIGHT BY SUBARU OF SANTA CRUZ, HAVING MY VEHICLE IN THEIR POSSESION AND NOT TAKING CARE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE IS UNACCEPTABLE.

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
