NHTSA Complaint #10954493 — 2008 SUBARU TRIBECA

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED NOTICE AUGUST 2016 THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE TAKATA AIRBAG WAS BEING RECALLED. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING DEPLOYMENT OF THE FRONT AIR BAGS, THESE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DUE TO PROPELLANT DEGRADATION OCCURRING AFTER LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE CYCLING. AN INFLATOR RUPTURE MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. . . . I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A FRONT PASSENGER IN MY FAMILY VEHICLE SINCE THIS NOTICE AND IT HAS NOW BEEN 7 MONTHS!! I NEED THIS VEHICLE FIXED FOR A FAMILY VACATION THIS YEAR. THIS LONG OF A WAIT IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS AND I AM BEYOND DISAPPOINTED AS TO HOW THIS RECALL HAS BEEN DEALT WITH!!
