Forester Seatbelt Recall

 Over the past couple of days we've had a fielded a few calls about this and since I see so many of these cars around town I wanted to post a little info. It's going to affect A LOT of cars so it would be a good idea to get in line. SOA should start sending letters around the first week in April.
 Subaru is issuing a recall for 275,000 Foresters today, built between November 26, 2007 and March 13,2012.
NHTSA cites a fault in the automatic locking retractor in the rear center seat belt assembly as the source of the issue. This specific seat belt connector is used for restraining child seats, and because of the faulty locking mechanism, child seats can become un-secure while the vehicle is in motion, greatly increasing the injury risk for the child in the seat.
Subaru will contact all owners affected and replace the faulty seat belt component free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before April 13, 2012. Concerned customers can contact Subaru at 1-800-782-2783, or the NHTSA safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
 Thanks
