| Description of the problem | The passenger seat occupancy sensor continually malfunctions and turns off the airbag while a front passenger is in place. This is the same issue for which a nhtsa recall was placed on 2013 subaru imprezas, so the problem is not limited to only that one model year. In fact, this appears to be common across all subarus' electrostatic capacitance sensor. This recall must be expanded for the protection of passengers in these cars. |
