2014 SUBARU OUTBACK Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2014 Subaru Outback has 8 recalls, the most serious being a Takata airbag defect where the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death. This airbag defect is covered across multiple filings and affects this vehicle whether or not it was sold or registered in high-humidity states, though certain filings do target vehicles in those regions specifically. There is also a fire risk: on turbocharged models, a relay controlling the secondary air injection pump can fail and allow the pump to run continuously, overheat, and melt, raising the risk of a fire under the hood. On the visibility side, contamination inside the windshield wiper motor can cause internal components to bind, overheat the motor, and cause the wipers to stop working while driving.
