Description of the problem	Subaru issued a recall on the 2005-2008 legacy and outback due to an inflator in the front passenger air bag needing to be replaced. For free. Fine.... There is a shortage of parts and we are expected, and i quote to "not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat" this is a safety hazard it says in all caps and "in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front passenger air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking vehicle occupants and potentially causing serious injury or death." my local dealership said it could be a year before we are in line to receive parts. Could cause death to sit in the front seat. Why are we not given loaner cars? How is there a shortage of an inflator? This is unacceptable and a potential for death to myself and riders?
