2009 Subaru OUTBACK Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

File date	23/08/07

Description of the problem	The airbag failure indicator in the instrument panel is coming on intermittently while driving. After turning off the engine, the problem goes away for some time and days or weeks later comes on again. I am concerned that should there be a collision while the condition describe above exist, airbag deployment may fail. There seems to be thousands of these incidents while searching internet databases and it appears all subaru dealers know of the problem and presumably subaru as well. Should not be a recall for this potentially serious safety issue?

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.
