2015-18 Forester Recall

Got a letter from Subaru advising of recall for passenger seat occupant detection system problem in 2015-18 Forester.

Faulty connection may prevent recognition that passenger seat is occupied. Thus, passenger airbag will not inflate in a crash.

If seat is occupied but dash light says it ain't, you've got the problem. Don't ride a passenger there- put 'em in the back seat. If light is working accurately, you're OK.

Parts not yet available to fix it- at least in my area.

Stay tuned for more info...

I had a recall on my 2017 Audi for exactly the same thing. I don't believe there were any new parts involved: my understanding was that they just cleaned and firmed up the connection. But I could be mistaken.
