Other information:
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are designed as follows:
To deploy in the event of an accident
involving a moderate to severe side impact
collision
To function on a one-time-only basis
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are not designed to deploy in the
following cases:
In most lesser side impacts
In most frontal or most rear impacts
(because the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag deployment would not protect
the occupant in those situations)
The SRS curtain airbags are also designed
to deploy when the vehicle is in an
extremely inclined state such as during a
rollover...
If you believe that your vehicle has a
defect which could cause a crash or
could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) in addition to
notifying Subaru of America, Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints,
it may open an investigation,
and if it finds that a safety
defect exists in a group of vehicles,
it may order a recall and remedy
campaign...
