2015 Subaru FORESTER Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1680687
Internal NHTSA #	11343926
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	FORESTER
Model Year	2015
File date	07/08/20
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When the vehicle is in motion, the passenger airbag does not accurately sense when a passenger is in the seat. It sometimes senses a passenger when the passenger is present and sometimes it does not. The airbag turns off randomly when it should be on. There is an active recall, wum-98, which outlines the exact issue and shows my vehicle description (2015 subaru forester with heated seats), however, my vin does not show it being affected by wum-98. I believe this is a severe safety issue and it needs to be included in the recall. I have called two subaru dealerships and subaru. No help. In addition, the passenger seat belt randomly dings when no passenger is in the seat. Please let me know what i should do.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
