Recall Number: 07V043000
Dates Manufactured: FEB 2005 to JUN 2005
Number of Vehicles Affected: 7004
Date Owners Notified On: Unavailable

ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE AIR BAG OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MAY HAVE BEEN PINCHED DURING PRODUCTION. PINCHING OF THE WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN THE FLOOR CROSSMEMBER AND THE SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET COULD RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT.

Consequence of Defect:
THE PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG COULD BECOME DISABLED AND MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT. ALSO AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT COULD CAUSE A FIRE.

Corrective Action:
DEALERS WILL INSPECT TO SEE IF THE WIRING HAD BEEN INCORRECTLY ROUTED UNDER THE SEAT BRACKET. IF SO, THE DEALER WILL REPAIR ANY DAMAGED WIRING, REROUTE AND SECURE THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE CORRECT LOCATION, AND RE-CALIBRATE THE OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM AS NECESSARY. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT MARCH 5, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SUBARU AT 1-800-782-2783.

my 04 wrx ended up having a problem that made the airbag light come one. It ended up being a pinched wire under the drivers seat.

that would suck big time for it to go off.

good info for 06 wrx owners.

Hahahaha... I had the same problem with my 07 2.5i lol... My air bag light kept coming on... it ended up being a water bottle that rolled under my seat and knocked the harness loose, causing the light to come on. Whoops!
