Component
AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION:FRONT PASSENGER
What Happened
The Occupant Detection System (ODS) in your Outback or Legacy uses sensors to determine if the front passenger seat is occupied. One of the capacitors in these sensors could crack and cause the system to malfunction.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, the front passenger airbag might not deploy in a crash, which could lead to serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Subaru dealer will replace the faulty sensors with new ones at no cost to you. They'll contact you soon with a formal recall notice, but you can also reach out to Subaru directly at 1-844-373-6614 for more information.
