Issue ID	881139
Internal NHTSA #	10425193
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2011
File date	13/09/11
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The sensor turns off intermittently when my wife sits in the front passenger seat (5 ft, 4 inches, 110 lbs). It will also turn off when she shifts her sitting position. The sensor will remain off, regardless of how she is sitting, for long periods of time (80+ miles) or until i restart the car. I spoke with two subaru dealers and they said that they have seen this issue with lighter passengers and don't thing a recalibration will help due to the sensor's sensitivity.
