What Happened

The passenger air bag in your vehicle is a safety device that deploys in a crash to protect the front seat passenger. In some 2009-2013 Subaru models, the air bag inflator might explode if it's exposed to high humidity and temperature changes for a long time.

Risk if Unfixed

If the inflator explodes, it could shoot sharp metal fragments towards the passenger, driver, or other occupants in the vehicle, causing serious injury or even death.

How to Get This Fixed
