Subaru has failed to remedy recall on airbags.
Ods sensor recall still not fixed/remedy available, used heat for first time since I purchased the car, minor cracks in the windshield, car radio/monitors randomly go black, reverse camera won’t work, restarts on there own after a while.
The contact owns a 2021 Subaru Legacy. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 24v227000 (air bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
Recall not fixed yet, what happens if a car hits me & the passenger airbags don’t work? unsafe, doesn’t seem like it’s being fixed in a timely manner.

A recall was issued Mar 22, 2024 for a dangerous safety issue. An air bag that does not deploy during a crash can increase the risk of injury. Remedy dealers will replace the ods sensors on the front passenger seat, free of charge. Interim letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed may 17, 2024. Owners will receive a second letter once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is wra-24. Nhtsa issued their recall for this problem. Nhtsa recall number24v227000 recall status recall incomplete, remedy not yet available now 8 months later Subaru drivers are still forced to drive around with this dangerous defect. This is totally unacceptable, irresponsible and local Subaru dealers have received no part for this repair and have not idea when they will ever get them. Nhtsa needs to step in and get answers from Subaru and issue notices to owners with this problem of the danger involved if there is a crash and their passenger is killed because of this delay.
