• Recall 119889 [USA]: The loss of steering ability would increase the risk of a crash.
  Subaru of america, inc. (subaru) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 legacy and outback vehicles manufactured february 29, 2016, to may 6, 2016. The steering column on the affected vehicles may have been improperly machined, and as a result, turning the steering wheel may have no effect on the direction of the wheels.
  subaru will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the lot number on the steering column, replacing the steering column, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began may 13, 2016. Owners may contact subaru customer service at 1-800-782-2783 or by visiting http://www.Wtd65.Service-campaign.Com. Subaru's number for this recall is wtd-65. Note: until the vehicles have been inspected, owners are advised not to drive their vehicles.

• Recall 2016487 [Canada]: Structure
  On certain vehicles, the driver’s knee guard bracket may not have been properly aligned at the time of welding and may not have been properly attached to the steering beam. In a frontal crash where the driver is not wearing a seatbelt, the knee guard may not be able to restrain the occupant’s lower body as designed, which could increase the risk of injury to the driver. Correction: knee guard welds will be inspected and repaired as necessary. Note: all vehicles are to be inspected and/or repaired prior to sale.

• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation # EA21002

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

Almost hit a deer on meredith center road new hampshire my display warning did not go off cost $12,000 worth of impact on the front end of the car the airbags did not go off deploy broke ribs

Bought my car in 2017 and i had my battery replaced 2.5 years later due to low battery, multiple jumpstarts, failure starting, and severe corrosion. The replacement battery was from the dealership and within 6 months it had severe corrosion. During service the corrosion was cleared, but returned by the time the next service was due. I was asked to pay $57 to clear the corrosion which i declined because i thought since i got the battery by the dealership they would do it for free. 2 services later (1 year) the dealership recommends battery service at $90 due to severe corrosion. Within that year, i've had multiple issues with low voltage. Subaru has refused to acknowledge the issue with the battery corrosion and they keep pushing a pay-for battery service.

Tl* the contact owned a 2017 subaru legacy. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, a second vehicle t-bone crashed into the driver side of the vehicle. During the crash, the driver side curtain air bag did not immediately deploy causing the drivers head to make contact with the interior of the driver side door. The air bag then deployed down onto the head of the driver causing the driver additional injuries and also causing the driver to becoming entrapped by the air bag. During the crash the driver sustained injuries to both sides of the head which required medical treatment. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The manufacturer was notified of the incident. The vehicle was destroyed. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 40,000.*dt

Had vehicle parked in garage with no chips or cracks in windshield.Next morning windshield was cracked.Cracks appeared from behind mirror outward.Checked for any chips none were found.No reason for glass to crack.
