Subaru recalls 118,000 vehicles due to airbag issue: Here's which models are affected
View Date:2024-12-23 16:31:12
Subaru of America is recalling over 118,000 of certain Outback and Legacy vehicles due to a potential issue with deployment of air bags in a crash.
According to a recall notice posted Friday from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, around 118,723 of 2020-2022 Subaru Outback and Legacy vehicles are affected by the recall.
A capacitor in the sensors for the occupant detection system may crack and short circuit, which can prevent the front passenger air bag from deploying in a crash.
Subaru dealers will replace the sensors on the front passenger seat, free of charge. Letters informing the owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed by May 21 and owners will receive a second letter once the remedy for the recall is available.
How to contact Subaru about the recall
Owners can contact Subaru's customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is WRA-24.
You can also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
