| Description of the problem | Possibly related to takata recall after local dealer serviced the recall, the air bag light came on. Dealer has said it is fault code 26, which is related to a failure of the passenger airbag indicator. This problem is pervasive and wide spread, a simple google search will garnish tens and possibly hundreds of people citing this failure. On top of subaru not being forthcoming with this information, the dealer has only made problem worse in their attempt to fix what should be a simple wiring issue that many people are able to fix on their own. It is unclear if the passenger airbag will deploy while this code is present. We believe it to be related to recall as the passenger wiring harness is involved in the repair and could have been incorrectly installed or the problem was their and the dealer did not tell us about it. |
