Component | AIR BAGS: OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM - OC |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The passenger airbag periodically turns off without notice. The airbag indicator light shows that there is an issue and subaru has contacted us about the issue. When we talked to the dealer they said it was a known interference issue related to cell phones and other devices and that if it continues to happen we should bring it in to have the passenger seat replaced. It has continued to happen periodically. Once the warning light indicates that the airbag is off, it remains that way until the vehicle is turned back on. Sometimes it is on when you start the car; sometimes it comes on quickly, and other times we drive for a long time and even go weeks without noticing it. Based on the fact that the company knows about this and that it is a safety system that is affected, it seems like it should be a recall. |
