| Description of the problem | I rec'd notification that the front passenger air bag inflator needs to be replaced, but the parts aren't currently available. In the meantime, i was advised to not let a passenger sit in the front. That's a difficult advisory with which to comply. Can't the front passenger air bag inflator be de-activated for the time being? Has this possibility been considered? I've also written to subaru about this situation. Thanks, joe |
