Default Takata airbag recall list
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.

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.

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.
from US recall info
https://www.subaru.com/vehicle-recalls/airbags.html

One of many from 2017/18 covering the various models
