Subaru recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Subaru is recalling certain model year 2013 brz vehicles manufactured from november 25, 2011, through may 25, 2012. The ownerâs manual contains an inaccurate description of the actual operation of the front passenger occupant classification system. Other portions of the ownerâs manual, describing the air bag system, require clarification. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) no. 208, âoccupant crash protection.â
What could happen
Misinformation could lead to an increased risk of injury to front seat occupants during certain crash conditions.
The fix
Subaru will notify owners, and will mail corrected ownerâs manuals, free of charge. The safety recall began on june 19, 2012. Owners may contact subaru at 1-800-782-2783.
