• Recall 2020001 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: this recall is for certain vehicles that had an airbag inflator replaced as a part of an earlier recall campaign. This recall provides a final repair. Long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective actions: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the passenger-front airbag inflator. The passenger-front airbag module or inflator will be replaced as necessary. Note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2017020 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2011344 [Canada]: Suspension
  On certain vehicles, the front lower control arms could corrode due to exposure to humid environments and road de-icing chemicals. Over time, corrosion could progress causing thinning and perforation of the steel, which could allow the control arm to fracture near the forward pivot attachment to the chassis. Lower control arm failure could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect the front lower control arms and, depending on the degree of corrosion exhibited, will either rustproof or replace them.

• Recall 2007033 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the wiring harness for the airbag occupant detection system in the front passenger seating position might have been pinched during vehicle assembly. Pinching of the wiring harness between the floor cross member and the seat mounting bracket could result in an electrical short which would blow the circuit fuse. If this happens, the passenger airbag would be unable to deploy during a crash, leaving the seat occupant susceptible to increased injuries. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if required, repair wiring damage.

• Recall 2005344 [Canada]: Electrical
  On certain vehicles, a wire for the immobilizer control module was pinched between the two halves of the icm security cover. As a result, the engine may not start, or may stall while driving. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, repair damaged wiring.

While my 75 year-old mother was driving home from the job she still works to pay her bills, the brakes on her subaru failed. The car was in motion, pulling out of the parking lot of the building where she works. Fortunately, she was able to get to a safe place and stop the vehicle, and thankfully she was not injured. Upon inspection, we discovered the failure was due to corroded brake lines. The lines leaked in the right rear area, near the wheel. Investigating online, i discovered a huge recall of subarus around the same year, make and model as my mom's. But according to subaru of america and nhtsa, unfortunately, my mon's car is for some reason not covered by this recall. That seems like an oversight, because the lines are definitely corroded, and my mom lives in the same 'salt belt' area (western massachusetts) where the 600k+ other, covered, subarus are. I know recall investigations take time, so this complaint probably won't help us ' mom will have to pay out of pocket to repair the lines, which will likely cost all of her limited monthly income from social security and jobs ' but if making this complaint helps others, it's well worth the effort. Thanks very much for your attention and assistance.

Hard start, rough idle, drove 3 miles, check engine light turns on, code: P0021 bank1/2. Did research. It's a banjo bolt filter/screen mine was cracked in half inside the oil line restricting oil to the turbo. Managed to remove one easily accessible banjo screen which fixed half the problem. The other bolt virtually not accessible by me. Almost all turbo vehicles from subaru experience this problem as code: P0021 or just catastrophic turbo/engine/coolant failure.

Possibly related to takata recall after local dealer serviced the recall, the air bag light came on. Dealer has said it is fault code 26, which is related to a failure of the passenger airbag indicator. This problem is pervasive and wide spread, a simple google search will garnish tens and possibly hundreds of people citing this failure. On top of subaru not being forthcoming with this information, the dealer has only made problem worse in their attempt to fix what should be a simple wiring issue that many people are able to fix on their own. It is unclear if the passenger airbag will deploy while this code is present. We believe it to be related to recall as the passenger wiring harness is involved in the repair and could have been incorrectly installed or the problem was their and the dealer did not tell us about it.

Takata recall i purchased this car six months ago from a small dealeership in vacaville, ca. I paid half the price for the car in cash the day i bought it after they assured me that it cleared the state inspection. Not even 4000 miles after i purchased this vehicle the motor is blown and there is the takata recall from 2016 that has not been handled. I just purchased the car in 09/2017.

Takata recall, i received a notification in the mail that there is a recall for my subaru impreza's air bags, i have called the dealer to make an appointment for a repair which the notification said would take 45minutes. The dealer scheduled an appointment, i waited a week without being able to use my vehicle. Then the dealer called me and told me that they have been unable to get the part. They also told me that when they do finally get the part the repair will take 3 days. They still have not called me to schedule a new repair time. I am stuck without a vehicle still and i use the vehicle for work. I have no idea how long i will be without a vehicle because they will not tell me how long it will take to get the replacement part. They are not repairing my car in a timely manner. I would like to be compensated. They can give me a new car or a working used car without defect. Thank you

Takata recall. I have received multiple recall notices, yet the local dealership has given me multiple dates by which they would have the parts, however, i keep calling them back and i feel that they are taking far too long to do this work. I called today, 10-13-2017 and spoke with tina marie at the dealership in the cumberland, md area and they said they have a call list but "another girl has the list" so tina marie could not verify even if i was on the call list or not. They had told me before it would be in august 2017 i could have the work done, then, they told me september. I am very concerned about this issue of having to wait over a year and a half to get this work done.

Takata recall -- this is regarding the recall of the 2006 subaru impreza passenger airbag. I received a letter this year (in march 2017) letting me know that the airbag was subject to recall because of serious mal-function... Serious enough that they suggest i not have anyone sit in the passenger seat. Since then i have heard nothing from subaru... Not even a note saying when they anticipate that fix would be ready. I find this not only a serious lack responsiblity on their part. I really think they should be require to provide a fix for this serious issue and that they should notify all concerned persons within 30 day maximum and that a fix must be available by the end of this year....I would appreciate a response from you concerning this issue.
