Description of the problem	There is a current recall affecting 2018 subaru forester's (nhtsa campaign number: 19v701000). I currently own a 2018 forester that the vin number does not match the recall. However my vehicle i doing the exact thing that the recall is for, the passenger side airbag turns off, light comes on and an srs airbag warning message comes on. Took my vehicle to the dealer while still under warranty, they said there was nothing wrong with it, even though there was a trouble code for the passenger side airbag that they just cleared. Six months later and now not covered under warranty, vehicle is doing the same thing, turning the airbag off, error message coming on. I feel as though subaru didn't include all of the correct vin number of vehicles that were affected. It creates a safety issue for the passenger, being that the airbag turns off and will not work in the event of a crash. I also don't feel like i should have to pay to fix something that is obviously a problem with other vehicles of the same year model having the same problem just cause my vin number is not included. They should extend the vin's to all 2018 models.
