Subaru electrical connection in the front passenger seat for the Occupant Detection System (ODS) may loosen.
The short version
Subaru of America, Inc. reported a problem with the sensor occupant classification. Here is what owners need to know.
An electrical connection in the front passenger seat for the Occupant Detection System (ODS) may loosen.
If the connection loosens, the front passenger airbag may deactivate even though the seat is occupied, increasing the risk of injury to the front passenger in the event of a crash.
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the ODS sensor mat harness, free of charge.
