Subaru of America, Inc. is recalling approximately 16 model year 2009-2013 Forester vehicles due to a defect in the front seat belt assembly. The force-limiter within the seat belt assembly may not function correctly during a collision, which can prevent the belt from properly restraining a passenger. Owners of these specific vehicles will be able to have their seat belt assemblies inspected and replaced by a dealer at no cost.
If the seat belt force-limiter fails during a crash, the seat belt may not hold the occupant securely in their seat, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury or death during an impact.
Free inspection and replacement of the seat belt assembly.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
