Just seen YouTube video on this. Never heard about it before. Trying to workout if this is just for Australia and USA or UK aswell?

Has been on going for a number of years due to availability of replacement parts and world demand

Yes, they are obliged to do it because of the deaths involved. I was just being reluctant as my local Subaru dealer is a Citroen dealer, new to Subaru, and I was fretting that they've never done a hatch..... and then Covid arrived.
But I don't want shrapnel to the head, and the good folk of SN may have noticed that I'm quite accident prone. Best get on with it.

NOSSY_89 16 May 2021 11:58 AM

Thats weird tried mine with it being a 99 and it says no records held and to call up the dealer.

Hedge you should be fine as long as you keep away from water looooool.

hedgecutter 16 May 2021 12:04 PM

I didn't put it into a search, I asked at the dealer.

jaygsi 16 May 2021 01:48 PM

I need to check my Bugeye. Going do ditch my newage steering wheel on my Classic and go back to a classic one. Saying that read somewhere it was a lot of passenger airbags.

Emailed IMG and they confirmed my Spec C needs passenger bag replaced. So arranging with local dealer to get the work done.

jaygsi 20 May 2021 04:32 PM

I rang the dealer this week was only on the phone 5 mins and he told me mine had been done (uk car), but we have a forester sports
cross in the family aswell which is a import he said give him the vin and he will send off to Japan and find out for me so can’t fault the service
really.

Hmm, I've got a later model wheel from a widetrack in my '03. Trying to get that airbag changed out I suspect is likely to be impossible.

Fairly sure it’s only the passenger airbags that are affected so that shouldn’t be a worry.

I had the recall of my 20th anniversary done FOC by Subaru Bulldog in Twyford in 2019.

That's good to know, thanks!

RockyRoad 21 May 2021 10:58 AM

Does anybody know if there’s any markings on the replacements to indicate it’s safe? I bought a spare a while ago for the cover and it’d be good to know if it’s a safe one so I could see if anybody needs the airbag itself. Don’t want to be passing along a dodgy one.

This recall only relates to the passenger-side front airbag inflator in certain Subaru vehicles and does not affect our driver-side front airbags, which were not equipped with a Takata inflator. Therefore, if your vehicle requires this recall repair, we recommend that occupants not use the front-passenger seat until the repair has been performed.
