Details

What's wrong: The ownerâs manual contains an inaccurate description of the actual operation of the front passenger occupant classification system. Other portions of the ownerâs manual, describing the air bag system, require clarification. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 208, âoccupant crash protection.â

Why it matters: Misinformation could lead to an increased risk of injury to front seat occupants during certain crash conditions.

The fix: Subaru will notify owners, and will mail corrected ownerâs manuals, free of charge. The safety recall began on June 19, 2012.
