The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) urges owners of the following Subaru cars to act immediately to replace defective Takata airbags:
The defective Takata airbags are alleged to deploy improperly or with too much force, causing injuries to vehicle. The airbags may also rupture, spraying metal shards at vehicle occupants. Takata airbags have been linked with at least four deaths and many more serious and catastrophic injuries. U.S. Senators have called for a criminal investigation into the makers of Takata airbags.
