Subaru has expanded its Takata airbag recall list in Australia by more than 33,000 vehicles as the ongoing safety disaster shows no signs of slowing.

In this latest round, another 11,234 Impreza and WRXs from the 2008-2011 model-years, another 1817 Liberty and Outback examples from the 2009-2012 model-years and a further 673 Tribeca SUVs from the 2009-2010 model-years are now in the carmaker’s sights.

A parallel recall sees yet more Liberty and Outback models joining the campaign (6759 examples) from the 2009-2014 model-years, along with 432 Liberty Exiga wagons from 2010.

All up, that’s another 33,228 Subarus in need of attention from authorised dealers across Australia with the latest round focusing on the passenger side airbag.

As with other Takata airbag recalls, the safety concern surrounds the airbag’s metal inflator unit.

The unit and its propellant are susceptible to moisture absorption. Should the airbag be required during a collision, the unit may rupture, showering the vehicle occupants with metal fragments which may result in injury or even death.
