Sarang Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I just came across this: http://blog.caranddriver.com/massive-takata-airbag-recall-everything-you-need-to-know-including-full-list-of-affected-vehicles/#list Notice that it now includes 2009-2011 Legacy and Outback. Edit: The NHTSA website does not confirm this, and their vin look up does not list my '10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Damn! Looks like 2009-2011 Foresters too. EDIT: The Forester is good. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cww516 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Couldn't prove I'm not a robot on my slow phone internet, but there's nothing on the official Subaru recalls page indicating that the 5th-gen Legacy and 4th-gen Outback are affected, didn't come up when I searched my VIN there, either. Wonder where C&D got their intel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 CR lists even more Legacys and Outbacks from 2003 thru 2011. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2016/05/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-takata-air-bag-recall/index.htm GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy.B Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Just checked my VIN. Looks like my passenger inflator needs replaced. Oh buddy. Can I ask for another 3.6R? Maybe a WRX? Lol Timothy.B's 2011 LEGACY 3.6R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Looks like I dodged the airbag recall and got hit instead with the steering column roll pin recall...yay! I guess I will be getting a letter from subaru soon. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBPeik Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Just checked mine. Looks like I am clear. I already had the steering and abs recalls done. So I am clear from the dealer for now. My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Mines never went off but the rest of the car has. Should hit the person harder I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Unfortunately, it looks like many cars we think are ok because they haven't been recalled yet, might not be ok... April 13, 2016: Regulators state that there are 85 million potentially defective, unrecalled Takata airbag inflators that will need to be recalled—unless Takata can prove they are safe. So far, the recall has included 28.8 million airbags in the U.S.so almost 3 times as many potentially problematic airbags out there than they have recalled to date...

kgarrett Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I've been stealing knowledge from this forum for awhile. Most recently on how to change a low beam bulb (most difficult bulb I've ever changed) & thought it was time to join. The expertise here is fantastic. Thanks to all. The '10 Legacy that I bought in Sept, 2014 does not show up for the air bag recall at safercar.gov. However, 2 recalls show up as 'Recall INCOMPLETE', A WVV32 Windshield Wiper Motor & a WVR28: Steering Column Electrical Roll Connector. Does that mean they were not done? The dealer I bought the car from told me all recalls were completed. Hence my reason for not checking for the last 1.5 years. I recently started having problems with the radio controls on the steering wheel & now wonder if WVR28 has anything to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 That would be a good question, these recalls may have been more recent than your purchase date though, the roll connector I believe was very recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrxwhit Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I'm good, one less thing to do which is good. Would they even perform the recall with a modified vehicle. I assume so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orndog Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yes, this is a safety recall. Back when I had my '03 they issued a recall for a driver's seat bolt that wasn't properly torqued. Well, I had an amp bolted there and knew I had taken care of said issue so I ignored it. When I took it in for a leaky valve cover gasket (under warranty) they did the seat bolt recall.

cww516 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 The only way you might run into an issue would be if you had done something to modify the airbag system. Someone in the main airbag recall thread mentioned having the airbag light on due to a seat swap, and someone else posted an excerpt from the recall bulletin where it tells techs not to pass Go or collect $200 if the light is on. If the light is on and they jiggle the wrong wire, they could potentially set off one or more airbags, which is a good way to total a car and/or seriously injure the tech. Just take it in on a Wednesday, your secret will stay safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesedil Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 If this airbag recall hits cars that have gone with a D-shaped wheel, that could be an issue then, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee199969 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 IIRC, the recall is on front passenger side airbags My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
