2012 Subaru Legacy and Outback are recalled for airbag fix

Subaru is recalling 2012 Legacy and Outback vehicles to check for a possible faulty side-curtain airbag. In a crash, the airbags might not fully deploy because of an incorrect propellant mixture.

Vehicles being recalled were built between Dec. 1 and Dec. 23, 2011, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will replace one or both side-curtain airbag modules free of charge.

Subaru owners can contact the company at (800) 782-2783; the recall number is WVZ-36.
