What happened

Subaru of America and General Motors are recalling certain Subaru and Saab vehicles from model years 2003-2014 due to a defect in passenger-side frontal air bag inflators. The inflators may explode and send sharp metal fragments into the vehicle's occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death. The problem affects vehicles originally sold or registered in specific states in the eastern and central United States, and stems from propellant degradation in inflators that were previously replaced under an earlier recall.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact Subaru customer service at 1-844-373-6614 (for Subaru owners) or the Saab Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-955-9007 (for Saab owners). Dealers will replace the passenger air bag inflators at no cost to owners. The recall began on January 7, 2020, and Subaru's recall number for this issue is TKB-20.
