MANUFACTURER: Subaru of America, Inc.
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V043000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: February 06, 2007
COMPONENT: Air Bags: Frontal
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 7004
SUMMARY:
On certain vehicles, the wiring harness for the air bag occupant detection system in the front passenger seat may have been pinched during production.
Pinching of the wiring harness between the floor crossmember and the seat mounting bracket could result in a short circuit.
CONSEQUENCE:
The passenger's front air bag could become disabled and may not deploy in the event of a crash increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Also an
electrical short circuit could cause a fire.
REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect to see if the wiring had been incorrectly routed under the seat bracket. If so, the dealer will repair any damaged wiring, reroute and
secure the wiring harness in the correct location, and re-calibrate the occupant detection system as necessary. The recall is expected to begin on or about
March 5, 2007. Owners may contact Subaru at 1-800-782-2783.
