NHTSA recall 19V009000

What's wrong: Subaru of america, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2010-2014 Tribeca, WRX, Legacy and Outback vehicles, 2010-2011 Impreza vehicles and 2010-2013 Forester vehicles sold, or ever registered, in the states of alaska, Colorado, connecticut, idaho, iowa, maine, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, Montana, new hampshire, new york, north Dakota, oregon, rhode island, south Dakota, Utah, vermont, washington, wisconsin,…

Why it matters: An explosion of an inflator within the passenger frontal air bag module may result in sharp metal fragments striking the front seat passenger, driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

The fix: Subaru is notifying owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on January 25, 2019.
