Subaru recall: Air bags
What is wrong

These vehicles may be equipped with side curtain air bags that contain an incorrect propellant mixture for the initiator component used, resulting in insufficient output of compressed gas.
What could happen
The side curtain air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will replace one or both side curtain air bag modules, free of february 21, 2012. Owners may contact subaru at 1-800-782-2783.
