2009 Subaru LEGACY Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1302905
Internal NHTSA #	10889017
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	LEGACY
Model Year	2009
File date	06/01/15
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The passenger air bag light on the dash board goes on and off periodically on my 2009 subaru legacy. Some days it does not come on at all, and other days if will do it 2 or 3 times, sometimes staying on for the entire time the vehicle is turned on. It doesn't matter if a passenger is in the seat or not - although usually i don't have a passenger in the seat. This started happening at 80k miles, and i now have 100k. Subaru dealership wants to charge $100 to diagnose it, but probably a sensor that needs replaced in their opinion at a cost of $500. Appears to be a problem for other owners of make / model / year of subaru. I think this should be a subaru issue that is looked at by an independent party before something catastrophic happens.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
