Subaru Australia has this week added another 34,000 cars to its lengthy list of vehicles caught up in the Takata airbag saga.

Like most Japanese carmakers - including Toyota, Honda and Nissan - Subaru has been hit hard by the Takata disaster which has seen millions of vehicles recalled across the globe.

And now the local Subaru branch can add 18,619 Imprezas - including WRXs - to that list, along with 15,944 Foresters.

In this instance, the front passenger airbag is the focus of the recall.

As with other Takata airbag recalls, the issue relates to the airbag inflator unit which can rupture as the airbag inflates when triggered by a collision.

Metal fragments from the inflator unit could potentially move about the cabin with enough force to cause serious injury or even death to one or more of the vehicle’s occupants.
