SummaryWE ANNOUNCED LATE LAST MONTH THAT THE WQR-53 TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL 2005-2008 MODEL YEAR LEGACY AND OUTBACK VEHICLES. DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE INDUSTRY-WIDE TAKATA RECALL SITUATION, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT ALL SUBARU RETAILERS ENSURE THAT RECALLED VEHICLES ARE REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. BASED ON BALLISTIC TESTING RESULTS, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH REGISTRATION HISTORY IN HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY (HAH) AREAS ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO RUPTURE. THEREFORE, WE URGE YOU TO FOCUS YOUR INITIAL EFFORTS ON CONTACTING YOUR AFFECTED CUSTOMERS WITH A REGISTRATION HISTORY IN THE HAH AREAS, TO SCHEDULE AND COMPLETE THIS REPAIR (SEE AFFECTED VIN LISTS BELOW).
