The 2007 Subaru WRX has 3 recalls, all centered on the same critical safety issue: the front passenger airbag inflator can rupture and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, posing a serious risk of injury or death.
All three recalls address the same defect in the front passenger airbag inflator module. When the airbag deploys, the inflator can explode with excessive force, breaking apart and scattering metal shards toward the driver and passengers rather than providing protection. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple recall campaigns exist for this same problem.
