Defect:
On certain vehicles, the wiring harness for the air bag occupant detection system in the front passenger seat may have been pinched during production. pinching of the wiring harness between the floor crossmember and the seat mounting bracket could result in a short circuit.

Correction:
Dealers will inspect to see if the wiring had been incorrectly routed under the seat bracket. if so, the dealer will repair any damaged wiring, reroute and secure the wiring harness in the correct location, and re-calibrate the occupant detection system as necessary. the recall began on march 9, 2007. owners may contact subaru at 1-800-782-2783.
