What happened

Subaru is recalling certain 2005-2012 model year vehicles including Baja, Impreza, Tribeca, Forester, Legacy, Outback, and WRX models that were originally sold or registered in specific states and U.S. territories (Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). These vehicles contain passenger front air bag inflators that may rupture during a crash due to propellant degradation from exposure to humidity and temperature changes, potentially causing metal fragments to strike occupants and result in serious injury or death.

Subaru will notify owners and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator at no cost. The recall began on March 6, 2017. Owners should contact Subaru customer service at 1-800-782-2783 and reference recall number TKA-17 to arrange the replacement.
